Editor freezes #146

Open RobustCoder opened 6 years ago

RobustCoder commented 6 years ago

I was using r4intellij today to edit an R file, and it was very frustrating: I could type for maybe 30 seconds, but then the editor would just freeze. Not crash, or do anything crazy, but the cursor would disappear and I could do no work. Then after maybe a minute, it would unfreeze. I could do another 30 seconds of work before it would freeze again. This cycle repeated many times before I abandoned trying to edit the R file in IntelliJ and simply used a text editor (TextPad).

I have no idea what r4intellij was doing during those freeze times. Any advice for how I could probe deeper?

I am using the latest released version of the r4intellij plugin (version 1.0.8).

I am using the latest released version of IntelliJ (version 2017.3.4). I never saw this freezing issue with previous versions of IntelliJ, and I think that I just upgraded to 2017.3.4 last week, so perhaps this is the culprit?

My machine is a Windows 10 64 bit Pro box.

Never, experienced such a problem (but I'm using macos so windows might be different). You could use "help->log" to locate threadDump and attach it to this thread. But typically JetBrains support are more able to decipher those files, so you may want to ask them directly.
