File editor not responding to clicking on different file tab or opening new file

Answered

This happens pretty frequently and it quite annoying. I'll have a file open and focused in the file editor, let's call it Foo.java. I'll click on another tab to try to view Bar.java. The window title will now reflect that I'm in Bar.java, but the file editor window is still showing Foo.java.

Occasionally when this happens I try minimizing/restoring the IntelliJ window. At some point if I do that, I'll generally see the entire IntellJ window go entirely black, and at that point all I can do is restart.

This happens a bit too intermittently for me to know exactly what steps I need to reproduce, it generally just happens after a while when I start shifting tabs. I'll look out for the idea.log next time it happens to see if I notice anything that could be related.
