Thanks for solving the mystery, but why is it designed to work like that?

When operating RTTY in SO2R Advanced mode, it seems like [Insert] should
work the same as it does when operating CW, except that WT grabs the
appropriate highlighted call instead of assuming that you are entering it
manually.

If the Main window is on Radio 1, [Insert] could grab the highlighted call
from RTTY Radio 1.  If the Main window is switched to Radio 2 via [*], WT
could grab the highlighted call from RTTY Radio 2.  If you press [CapsLock]
to highlight the secondary window, [Insert] could grab the highlighted call
from RTTY Radio being used by the secondary window.

The only difference between RTTY and CW that I can think of is that if the
callsign field is empty when you press [Insert], WT resends the call and
exchange from the previous line.  You can always get the same behavior by
moving up one line in the log and pressing [Insert], so that alone doesn't
seem like it would justify blocking the function entirely for RTTY Advanced
SO2R operators.
