Webstorm constantly freezes on certain auto-completion actions or imports garbage
Webstorm for months constantly freezes on me when performing certain auto-completion actions or imports garbage. I was hoping that it will be recognised and fixed in an update, but it looks like nobody has the same issue?
First of all, if freezing, it even takes down my Macbook Air for a long time. I cannot quit Webstorm immediately and I have to wait for any input to be performed by my computer.
Here is a video illustrating freezing:
I tried to end the capturing immediately to get a video at all. Webstorm will NOT recover from this.

Here is a video illustrating garbage imports:

These actions are problematic:
- Generate getter/setter (getter works but imports garbage)
- Auto-complete of methods in objects (not classes) that implement an interface
- Auto-complete inside TSX files
My setup:
Macbook Air M2

Same things:
Would it be possible to collect the log files and share them in a new youtrack ticket ( https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/WEB) as the initial troubleshooting step?
These can be collected with the Help > Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data menu action.
Build #WS-252.27397.92 constant freezes , very slow.
Sorry but this IDE is not usable anymore.
Aschuetz could you share the logs collected with the Help > Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data menu action and share them in a new youtrack ticket so we can investigate the issue?
i have the logs but your website is suck, they dont have an option to attach a zip file. LOL
here is upload ID, this is stupid design

Please could you check if a workaround from IJPL-190484 (adding
-Dsun.java2d.metal=falsein Help | Edit Custom VM Options and restart the IDE) helps?I found a solution: simply disable automatic graphics card switching in the Mac's power management settings.
