syntax highlighting takes long time to show up

Answered

Hi Intellij Community,
Recently after start Intellij or checkout different git branch, my Intellij fail to highlight the syntax. It just shows plain text with basic java syntax highlighting such as void or public. It takes up to 1 hour to back to normal syntax highlighting, such as typo, syntax error and classes. This happens after I update Intellij to 2016.3.3 and JDK. I downgraded to 2016.3.2 and it did not help. I checked power save mode, plugins and preferences->Editor->Code style, file types, color and fonts. There are no abnormal settings. I also tried to disable all plug ins, still no help. Does anyone have same problem or know what could be the reason?

Check that you do not have File | Power Save Mode enabled, try File | Invalidate Caches/Restart.. | Invalidate and Restart action.

If issue remains, attach screenshot, showing full IDE window with opened Editor and share idea.log after IDE restart and reproducing.
