IntelliJ editor text selection fix

Answered

Hi,

whenever I move my mouse in the editor, it marks the line's background (in gray)

if I press inside the editor (one click, no matter where), it starts selecting text, and it stops selecting after I press again anywhere else in the text so the highlighted text is the whole text between the two mouse clicks.

How to disable it?

All I could find is using column selection mode(Alt+Shift+Insert), but it does not really solve it

 

Thanks, Alex

Hi.

Please try turning off sticky selection ( Cmd + Shift + A) "Toggle Sticky Selection".

Currently it seems to work fine because I restarted pc, had nothing else to do. But I'll try it once it happens again, thanks!
