Hi there. Whenever I have seen this kind of thing happen, I have been in TextEdit. Usually, I can restore normal behavior by quitting TextEdit with command q and going back in the file. Sometimes, however, I have noticed that this same file does it again and I have to do the same procedoe. In my case, I have noticed that this seems to happen if I'm doing line by line editing and I do a lot of up and down arrows.
I have also been able, sometimes, to restoffe normal behavior by doing VO right and left arrows and interacting with the page I want to edit. Hope this helps.
