All I did was select bunch of vertices and move them. Then I was supposed to deselect a few of them, but Blender has switched to object mode and I can't activate edit mode anymore. It's not on the list that has the modes and pressing Tab does nothing. Anyone know how to avoid this from happening?

    make sure that you only have one object selected, or the object you want is the active object. – David Jul 29 '15 at 20:05

    Are you sure you have the right object selected? Is it possible you could add a screenshot? – gandalf3 Jul 29 '15 at 20:05
  • I'm pretty sure I had only one object selected. The view itself looked like edit mode. It displayed the vertices and some of them were still selected. I tried to see if it happens again, but now I can't make the object gray again (because it's black when imported), because I'm not really sure how I managed to do that the last time... – ASDF Jul 29 '15 at 20:23

    Do you have any armatures on the object? – Kesha Wilson Jul 30 '15 at 03:20
  • What modes are listed in the selection menu? Is this happening on just one object, or on all of your objects? – Mentalist Jul 30 '15 at 03:37
  • Yes there is one armature in the object. I have no idea what it is/does, so I left it alone (the object I'm editing is imported btw). – ASDF Jul 30 '15 at 08:41

Like stated in the above comments you probably have more than one object selected, or you might have selected an object that is not editable (eg a light, camera, )Try pressing A a few times and then reselecting your mesh, If you believe it to be a bug, Try closing blender, starting a new file and importing everything into your new file.
