Flutter plugin: "Show Context Actions" menu incomplete for a couple of seconds
Answered
Hi!
I'm using the latest version of IntelliJ Ultimate with the Flutter plugin on my M1 MacBook. After referencing a new class in a Flutter file, IntelliJ shows an incomplete context menu for "Show Context Actions" ([Alt]-[Return]) for a couple of seconds. Only then does the "Import" action appear. An example video is below.
It ain't the end of the world. But this "three-second stop in my flow" is slightly annoying. This is a recent issue - first appeared a month or two ago.
Is that an IntelliJ issue or a Flutter plugin one?
Here's my IntelliJ configuration:

Hi Karsten,
Sounds more like a Flutter plugin issue. I can see a bunch of similar reports on their issue tracker.
Is the issue reproducible with all downloaded plugins except Flutter disabled and IDE restarted?
Can you reproduce it in a different type of file with Flutter enabled/disabled?
@... Nothing says, "IntelliJ has a robust plugin API" like suggesting "Please disable all other plugins" as the first step of troubleshooting. 😁
I'll test this in the Community Edition of IntelliJ. It's just a big hassle to manually disable and enable all plugins in my IDE. Is there a way to export & import which plugins are enabled? "Export Settings" didn't seem to include it. And I don't know if "IDE Settings Syncs" lets me go back to "My enabled plugins from this morning".
The list of non-bundled (downloaded) plugins from the About info only consists of those that are currently enabled.
Downloaded plugins can all be disabled/enabled in one swift motion from within the Preferences | Plugins dialog:
@... Thank you for your comment! The "Disable/Enable all downloaded plugins" trick won't help: Only about half of them are enabled. And I disabled many bundled plugins, too.
