IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.0 becomes non editable and requires restart

IntelliJ IDEA 14.1.0 (Ultimate edition) Java 1.8, 1.6 Scala 2.11

We are working on a project which has several modules most of them are Java and one of the modules is in scala.

For some odd reason IDE becomes non editable (i.e) I can't modify any files, though I can click and navigate between files.

Its so annoying that we've to restart the whole IDE or mutilple IDEs in case we have multiple projects opened on different IDE windows.

For me, it was the accidentally turned on Vim emulator (found the answer here). Untick Tools -> Vim Emulator.

Here's the image from the original thread:

I have seen this, I think its due to accidentally changing the edit mode,

at the bottom right corner there is a small lock icon, if you click that it will toggle readonly and editable.
