In the status bar, the field to the right of the language field should display "INSRT" or "OVER", according to <https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Switching_Between_Insert_Mode_and_Overwrite_Mode>. For me, it's empty; see attached screenshot.  Hovering over the area produces a tooltip "Insert mode."  Wild clicking on the empty space (sometimes double, sometimes single) changes the displayed text to "Overwrite" (and actually activates overwrite mode).  More wild clicking changes back to insert mode and makes the status bar field blank again.

Obviously, this is highly weird.  Also, since there is no "Insert" key on OS X, enabling overwrite mode is a bit difficult.

This is also discussed in this thread: <http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/5946>.
