Changing Text in Pages

OS Sonoma 14.6.1

So I don't know when things changed in Pages but -

In the past when I highlighted a word as above, I would simply start typing the replacement word that I wanted. Now, as soon as I begin typing I get this confusing mess -


I have no idea what this is and have no need for it. Is there a tweak somewhere that would prevent this dialog box from showing? Thanks.

Mac mini, macOS 14.6

Before you select a word and assume that you can just type over the selection, ensure that edit menu > Track Changes is not enabled (e.g. disable Track Changes), or it will automatically spring that trap that you show above.
