Improved steps
1. Open attachment 180483 [details]
2. Edit -> Track Changes -> Record ON & Show ON
2. Select the 's' of six in the first line
3. Type S -> un-capitalized s at the left
4. Put cursor after 'w' in ways (next to six)
5. Press backspace
6. Type W -> un-capitalized w at the right
7. Put cursor before 't' of that
8. Press Delete 
9. Type T -> un-capitalized t at the right

Overwrite insertion behaves like Delete + Insertion (steps 7-9). I would expect
it the behave as 'Backspace + Insertion (steps 4-6)

Why? It was working differently in the paste + taste. I use tend to overwrite
text by simply overtyping or backspace/insertion. Less often with delete (but
that's me)

The end-result is now hotchpotch. If you use overwrite, the old text being at
the left. Using backspace + insertion the old text text at the right. Doesn't
make reading correction easier

I principle it shouldn't matter if you did use delete/backspace/overwrite to
replace something. With show changes the result should look the same. But
that's my point of view.

I get that backspace being different compared to delete technically, however
this more about readability from end-user perspective
