Intellij 14 weird editor/cursor behaviour

Question

I just upgraded my Intellij IDEA to version 14, but I have the problem that my cursor in the editor window is acting \"different\". It starts of in a sort of protected mode,

Answer 1

It seems you have entered into insert mode. I have mac and I entered some combination of keys which somehow enabled insert mode. The use block caret was not ticked for me. I found this mentioned on JetBrains thread to get out of insert mode

In short, press on mac to get back into editing mode with the normal cursor

⌥ + ⌘ +  v
