Can't type a backslash in code-editor anymore

I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden when I try to type a backslash (ALT-SHIFT-7) in the editor, it gives me code-fragments instead.

I tried to look for keyboard-shortcuts, but can't find any that applies to a backslash.

Any Ideas how to fix this?

Please open Preferences | Keymap, using the search field find the action called Cyclic expand word (backwards) and remove the associated shortcut. That's a known problem: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-257891. It's fixed and the fix should be included in the next IDE update.
