Eclipse cursor changes to crosshair

Solution 1

Most likely this is the block edit mode. Try pressing Alt+Shift+A.

Solution 2

Just so to provide solution for MAC again-

cmd + alt + A

Thanks to @vsm

Solution 3

Clicking the 0 button while on num lock can also cause it to change...

Just wrote this incase any one else was not finding a solution! :-)

    I was working in Eclipse Java EE IDE. While using it, mouse cursor changes to cross-hair. Now its displaying as cross-hair in editors. Where to change it?
