I have tried this minimalistic change:

**************************

 edit_text_rep::insert_tree (tree t, path p_in_t) {
+    selection_get_cut () ; // delete existing selection to get overwrite
behavior
   if (is_atomic (t) && (p_in_t == end (t)) &&
       is_atomic (subtree (et, path_up (tp))))
     insert (tp, t);

******************************

It seems to to the trick (deleting any existing selection prior to adding
stuff to the document). I have not yet extensively tested it, though.
Moreover, since I don't know the overall architecture of the project, it may
introduce really bad side effects in some cases. So, it's better to have it
checked by an "architect".

best,
Philippe
