in preferences, switch to short crossfades (you are currently using "full

overlap crossfades")
ardour has crossfaded between the old and new regions. this is quite useful

behaviour when editing, but not the desired behaviour when overdubbing

(recording over existing material). you still want a crossfade to prevent

an abrupt transition between the old and the new, but it should be short

(notably less than 1 second in this case). short crossfades will do that

for you.
note that ardour3 and mixbus both do this by default.
