Problem when inserting using suggest word in editor data in col 73 moved right

Problem:

When using the Suggest Word option on a mispelled dataname in the procedure division, if the selected word is longer than the mispelled word and there is data in column 73 thru 80, then that data will be moved by the number of characters > the original word.

Resolution:

To fix this behavior simply display the Find/Replace window by pressing Ctrl-F and then check the option to stay within margins.

Then the data in col 73 will not be moved.
