Updated with information I forgot to include:
Canopy Version: 1.7.4.3348 (64 bit)
Python version: '2.7.11 | 64-bit | (default, Jun 11 2016, 11:33:47) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]'
Also: This problem only started a few days ago, but it's pretty irritating. It could be the network guys are doing something, or it could be I've altered my environment somehow without realizing it.
I have the habitual problem in Canopy that for some reason the prompt in the immediate window acts weird. It lets me type, but doesn't do anything and doesn't seem to advance to the next command.

The only way I can get past this is to restart the kernel. I think something in my program might be causing this. Not sure what. Don't want to put the whole thing here. Anyone had this problem and know what kind of thing might cause it?
Also, what is this "mode" called and is there a way to get back to a regular "mode" without restarting the kernel?
Your firewall might be blocking ipython's communication with its kernel. Try disconnecting from the internet, disabling your firewall, and trying again. If this solves the problem then you'll need to configure your firewall not to block localhost, or use a smarter firewall program.
