Red cursor

I have AbiWord 2.0.12-i486 installed on Slackware 10.1, somehow have
managed to alter the cursor whilst writing a letter.

The cursor is now Red and if one back spaces to correct, for instance a
missed coma, as one writes the coma the space to the right of the cursor
disappears, if one then inserts the space, the next letter disappears, and
so on until one reaches the end of the previously written material.

Obviously I have altered a setting somehow, but I have no idea how to put
it back the way it should be. Can someone kindly point out how to rectify
this?
