Failure to exit insert mode

[jminardi]

Since updating the vim plugin recently I sometimes get in a state where I can not exit insert mode.

I haven't nailed down exactly what steps are needed to reproduce this, I will update this issue if I am able to.

The following errors appear in the console when trying to exit by hitting escape:

Thanks for the report. We'll definitely need to reproduce it before there's anything we can do. I'll leave it open for a while to see if others encounter it. Judging from the stacktrace, this may get kicked up to CodeMirror.

Also, I see you're in the area - you should come out to a Boston Clojure meetup sometime :)

I am getting this problem too. Sometimes I would work on files for some time (often hours) and then something happens and I cannot escape out of insert mode for that file. If I close the tab and move to other tabs then it works fine (unless the bug is triggered on other files too), if I reopen that file however the bug stays. To make it go away I have to restart LightTable which is very very annoying.

Same problem, I had LightTable open for a few hours and it didn't occur at all but once it started it didn't stop.
