Especially Item 7) under 5) in the list may be relevant, naming the usual suspects.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

It is if things keep working after that. Sometimes, strangenesses are cured that way.

DavidMatos Nov 23, 2014 8:05 AM (in response to Jacob Bugge)Sorry Jacob, this is not a philosophical question. We're talking about a productivity tool that forces you to restart your machine way too often in order to get things done. So if I must accept that this is how you deal with it until there's a proper fix, fine, but if the problem persists (and it does), then no, this not a solution.

Jacob Bugge Nov 23, 2014 10:00 AM (in response to DavidMatos)Indeed, David.
I was referring to numerous cases in the past when some strangeness has only arisen once and then been cured once and for all by one of the easy top ways of the list.
