You will need to tap your “Insert” key that is found between your “<-Backspace key” and “Home key”, then try inserting a letter. This should alleviate the problem of letters to the right of your inserted letter from disappearing.

Each time the “Insert” key is tapped it will either make the letter to the right disappear after you have entered a character or just let you insert a letter without any affect to the characters to the right.
