Hi! I can't recreate the problem, but does this work when the editing mode gets stuck? When you can't cancel using "Escape" and such?

Bummer. Sounds like you are crashing.  It happens sometimes. End Task via Task Manager. That's all I got for you.  Sorry.

...Audit upon relaunch and perform some routine maintenance, such as resolving as many Warnings as you can.

I wouldn't say crashing, it just happens now and then that we get stuck inside editing modes. 
The software is still responsive but there's no way to cancel the edit (such as edit groups, edit roofs and such). 
You cant' finish/cancel and therefore you can't sync what you've been doing. You have to force close and loose valuable time. Or find a way to force cancel the editing, some way.

I have found that this can happen when there is a message box that needs to be addressed. Try hovering over the Revit icon on your taskbar. If there is a window behind other windows, it should show up.

I had this sometimes (not remembering Revit version). Did not have other windows behind.
CTRL-Z helped in those cases. You loose the edits (to the floor/roof etc) but can continue with Revit.
At least that "solved" it for me
