OK, I have done the same for the AppBasic Mode also.

Mmmm, I guess a starting point would be to put a plastic block over
those 6 keys so that I dont take the easy way out (resetting Insert)
and take note of the mode and the previous actions.
I think getting a reproducible case will be difficult, there are
obviously /some/ requirements, More than likely the use of either the
arrow keys or a mouse click to position the cursor is one of them.
Thanks Peter, for acknowledging it does happen occasionally there.
