I have this exact same problem on an HP iPaq 2215 (Win PocketPC 2002).  I upgraded to the absolute latest version available for download.  The overlap occurs under the same conditions listed below.  As text is inserted, a ghost of the text is left behind overlapping whatever is shifting from the insert operation.  Appending text to the end of a line does not show the ghost text.
