I am unable to edit any files in a project in Visual Studio 2013. It only happens in one project. If I open a different project I am able to type fine, but once I go back into the problem project I am unable to type in the editor windows. Not sure if it matters but the project that is giving me issues we are using SVN on. The other projects are just local ones on the machine. I have restarted Visual Stuido, restarted the computer and still am unable to edit the files. Any ideas?

This exact thing happened to me. Do you have ReSharper? If so, the solution I found here may work for you. From Alexander's comment in the accepted answer:

Try cleaning R# caches C:\Users{User Name}\AppData\Local\JetBrains\ReSharper\v8.2\SolutionCaches\ and then reopen the solution

From below comment - that's %userprofile%\AppData\Local\JetBrains\ReSharper\v8.2\SolutionCaches for those that want to Win+R.

From comment below, another possible location: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Transient\ReSharperPlatformVs12\v02\Soluti‌​onCaches

Update - Another Easier Option:

You can also go to ReSharper option, Environment/General, click on Clear Caches and restart Visual Studio – Chin Feb 27 at 2:02 enter image description here
