Intellisense suddenly disappears

VS Code version: 1.33.1 (x64) C# Extension version: 1.19

Steps to reproduce

General use (have successfully reproduced on a different WIN10 x64 machine)

Expected behavior

Should not disappear. Seems that it's hidden because It's refreshing/reloading or something (my best guess).

Actual behavior

Intellisense disappears suddenly

Screenshots/proof

It actually seems to be getting reset once VSCode adds the auto-newline at the end of the file, if you look closely.

Also, similar problem occurs when I have:

1. My mouse hovering over another entity (class, variable, etc.) anything that would trigger a tooltip.
2. Have intellisense visible (I use CTRL + Space to show it).

My intellisense just disappears, kind of conflicting. I have to be forced to move the mouse where it's not hovering anything for it to work.

Please fix this, as it is super annoying!

Same issue here, and it's been going on for a few weeks on multiple machines running Ubuntu 18.04.

For me, it only disappears when invoking a quick-fix to import a reference for the first time in a given file (1.35.1 on .net core 3-preview6). Works fine on subsequent try.

Most of the time it disappears faster than on the capture here.

Same here, would love a fix.

[rchande]

@cloudrex It's difficult to tell what's happening in that gif. Can you explain the problem in words?

[ghost]

@rchande I'm repeatedly pressing CTRL + . to bring up the intellisense and it suddenly goes away.

so i figure it out, it was the auto save option... every 5seconds..

[ghost]

If it's the autosave option, is there any way to prevent the intellisense dialog from closing during autosave?
