annoying editor behavior on Yosemite
I recently switched from a Windows machine to a Mac running Yosemite.
On the windows machine copy/paste (for example) was easy and straight forward. On Yosemite things are everything but easy and straightforward.
Concrete example: I try to highlight a block of code but I can't just drag the cursor from beginning to end of the block I want to copy I actually have to extend the selected area to the length of the longest line. Once copied I want to paste that code. Well, it pastes it alright, albeit 10 times. When I paste it before some other code, that code gets deleted.
I have never seen such weirdness in the windows version.
What is going on here?

That worked. I have no idea how it ever got activated (given the key combination).
Time for me to spend more time with the PyCharm manual. Faith in PyCharm restored.
