So, I thought IntelliJ IDEA was screwed up . . .

My maven projects all started behaving badly.  No auto-completion, no auto-importing of classes, syntax highlighting wasn't working - I was getting really annoyed.  My initial thought was that the 12.1.5 update released last week must have been the culprit.

I was about to open a support case with JetBrains, when I noticed that an option called "Power Save Mode" was enabled (File menu, towards the bottom).  I turned that off, and presto!  Everything came back to normal.

Bottom line - don't use this feature.  It makes IDEA slightly better than a text editor - especially in comparison to what it normally does for you.
