Intellij Idea Problem Overview

For some reason Intellijs text cursor keeps following my mouse and highlighting everything. Is there some setting that can do that? I can't seem to find it from searching the settings. Where else could it be?

If you have a touchscreen try touching it somewhere. It helped me to solve the issue.

Found the solution in this thread on the JB website.

Solution 2 - Intellij Idea

I had that problem twice on two different computers in different jetbrains IDEs, gogland and pycharm.

The solution, as annoying as easy, restarting of the machine. Restarting the IDE or even up/downgrading did not help.

I use a touch screen monitor and i deal with the same issue. my mouse cursor remained in selecting state and highlight every thing. I touch somewhere on the my monitor screen once and solved this problem without closing app.

Other solutions are: close and open app / restarting computer
