Description

« Hide

This seems to be new in 7821 - I've had several occurrences where error highlighting and intentions stop working and IDEA goes into a continues loop trying to do error analysis in the background, over and over and over.

I call this "the blinking eye problem" because the little error analysis eye comes up, goes away, comes up, goes away, so it looks like it's blinking.

CPU dump attached.

I'm seeing it as well. Especially when a resource bundle I18N property file is the active file in the editor. I'll grab a CPU snapshot tonight and attach it.

Attaching a CPU Snapshot taken when the issue was occurring. Interestingly, I did not see the issue for the first few hours of my working. Then I copied some classes from one module to another (via F5 copy refactor) and it suddenly started. It took all 4 of my CPUs up to ~35% each. It kept going for several minutes before I shutdown and restarted IDEA. Upon restart. the same two file (split pane) were open and visible. IDEA analyzed the files once and then displayed the red and yellow squares rather than the "blinking eye". But then a about 10 minutes later the issue came back and kept occurring.

Yup, inspections stop working within minutes after loading my project.
No "blinking" for me though. The "color indicator" simply stays gray. No CPU load either.

Very annoying and IMHO a blocker for 7.0.4.

Ok, so now I encountered a blinking eye, too...
