Problem description: After some editing moments, I don't know which exactly, the cursor highlights the symbol, but it must be between two symbols. Classic divider transforms to terminal-like highlighter     
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.2.4.2 release

And also editing becomes glitchy. When I type text all symbols which are righter than cursor are being deleted

Dear Yan,

That sounds like you have turned on overwrite by pressing the insert key, so press the insert key one more time and it will turn back into the standard cursor.

Oh, sorry. You are right, I pressed Insert accidentally. Bug may be closed or transformed to a wishlist: it is impossible to disable it graphically, new users may be confused.

You can disable it by double-clicking 'overwrite' in the status bar, or according to your screenshot, double-clicking '3aMeHa'.
