Whenever I double click on words in IntelliJ, the editor highlights the word like I am expecting it to, and it also acts as if I am pressing the insert button to do Overtyping. If the word is selected and I move down via keypad, it starts to highlight everything from the end of the word and it is very infuriating. How can I disable this? I looked through the settings and I am not seeing anything that is related to double clicking and highlighted words.

I found a solution, there was a plugin that was installed along with the installation that is IdeaVim. After uninstalling that and I do not have the issue anymore
