Confirmed on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US with
Version: 5.3.1.2 (x64)
Build ID: e80a0e0fd1875e1696614d24c32df0f95f03deb2
CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: default; Layout Engine: new; 
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group

For any cell, with edit cursor focus moved into the Input Line dialog--the Status bar Insert/Overwrite mode does not toggle with mouse click (single or double) or context menu action.

But the Insert key does toggle the edit mode and its entry on the status bar.

Works correctly in 3.5 and is partially broken in 3.6 (you can click to disable overwrite mode) when the statusbar fields were changed and is fully not functional in 4.4.
