What issue do you have?
What happened to insert/overwrite feature after the editor change? I would like to have overwrite back on Windows/Linux, I know it's not really common on Mac. If it's not entirely clear see my other post about it Feature request: thick cursor after overwrite (insert key).
Overwrite mode might not be supported in CodeMirror 6 without a custom extension.

I actually thought we finally ditched CodeMirror, oh well it seems it does more harm than good in this case, I think I'll use the legacy editor for most tasks then.
Now it works although it looks ugly with bigger headers (version 3.2.1)
Thank you anyway
Keep in mind that the overwrite mode cursor can be restyled with userchrome.css. For example,
.cm-editor.-overwrite .cm-cursor {
border-left-width: 2em; /* Make the overwrite cursor very large */
border-left-color: green; /* Make the overwrite cursor green. */
}
