Gemini Plugin for IntelliJ is Causing Hangs

[bcwhite-code]

Every so often, sometimes multiple times per day, IntelliJ hangs with no way to recovery other than "end task" is the task Manager.

JetBrains support confirms that it's a problem with my Google plugin.

Thanks for the report @bcwhite-code. We are looking into this

[ivanporty]

This should be fixed in the latest release 24.6.1. Please update the plugin and let is know if this works for you or otherwise reopen. Thank you for your report again.

[imanabu]

I have 24.6.1, and this still freezes up. Typically this "seems" to happen when IntelliJ is trying to suggest a code completion inline with the editor. I will disable automatic generation for longer... options and see.

@imanabu thank you for your report. We would like to take a deeper look at this - could you please record a screencast of what is going on with freezes? How bad is the freeze - does it slow down, or hangs?
And, please submit the feedback -> Gemini status bar, Submit feedback with all logs, and add description that this is for GitHub issue #3202 by imanabu.
Thank you!

@imanabu - it would be super helpful to get the feedback using the submit feedback mechanism as described in the previous comment.
