Unreliable code completion in Kotlin

Answered

I'm having really annoying issue with code completion popups in Kotlin code. Whenever I start typing keyword/function/variable name, most of the time one of two things happen:

  • popup with suggestions does not show up at all
  • popup with suggestions shows up and then disappears very quickly

Whichever happens, trying to bring the popup again (Ctrl+Space) hardly ever helps, as most of the time the popup is being "auto-closed" again. See attached video demonstrating the issue (there's also one for code completion working fine in Java code). Note "Updating Indices"/"Indexing" showing up on the status bar for a split second... perhaps that's what "interrupts/discards" the popup?

Has anyone seen this before? Is it a known issue?

Try to disable all custom plugins except Jotlin as the first troubleshooting step. 

If this does not help, share the complete logs folder compressed after reproducing a problem.

Disabled all downloaded plugins (except Kotlin one) - unfortunately no improvement.

Should have been fixed in IntelliJ IDEA 2020.3 EAP: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/

See this bug for details: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-40813

Post a comment inside the bug if the issue is still here for you in EAP build.

Tested with EAP (Build #IU-203.5419.21, built on October 29, 2020) and it seem to be working fine.

Thank you.
