Hi...this is a very annoying bug...sometimes (frequently) the caret dissapear and I can't type anything in the editor (it's similar to vim when isn't in edit mode) I can select text, move up and down, open file, settings, click in the menu, etc...but the text editor is disable...now..sometimes this fix in a few seconds, but in other case I need restart the ide...
Note: I was thinking than possibly it was an error with the fonts, because when I was using waree font this happenned frequently..then if I changed for the default font and sometime the problem was fixed..now I'm using andale mono but the problem still happen and the lonely way for fix it is restart the ide...
- If I change for openjdk the problem is fixed..but the font render is really ugly...I suspect than it can be a problem with the jdk
I'm using linux mint maya and intellij idea 12.0.2 jdk 1.7.0_07..
