Syntax Editor: Overwrite modus changes it's fuction if ctrl+Insert and shift+insert is used as shortcuts in Syntax editor window

Troubleshooting

Problem

I am using SPSS Statistics 17.0 and I am used to copy text from a text document and paste it into the syntax editor. For copy I use the key combination: ctrl+insert and for paste I use ctrl+insert. However, when I press the insert key after pasting again in order to activate the overwrite mode in the Syntax editor window (OVR) I have noticed that after using the key combination the OVR works to the contrary: when OVR is displayed in the status bar of the syntax editor overwrite is not possible, when OVR is not displayed overwrite is possible. I have to close the Syntax Editor window to get out of this.
