[Qt-creator] Editor hanging up?

[Victor Sardina]

Hello:

Today I happened to notice that under Linux (x86_64) sometimes the code 
editor appears to hang for a little while. I think it might have 
something to do with the code completion engine. Allow me to elaborate 
on this behaviour:

If you type in the name of a variable, say a QDate variable followed by 
"." you get the list of public member functions to choose from, then you 
select it, and the editor even guides as to what argument you should 
pass next (very useful and neat feature indeed). Notwithstanding, 
suppose that you now go back on the line erasing everything up to the 
"." At this point the keyboard appears to hang up and doesn't allow 
typing for a little while. The editor displays a  message saying 
something like "expected ")" but got ";" , for instance. This behaviour 
appears to repeat itself each time you select a new member function. 
After a while the editor goes back to normal editing mode.

This happens on a Dell Precision 690 with two dual core 64 bit 
processors (4) and 4Gb of RAM running RHEL5 (RedHat).

Has anyone seen this behaviour as well? After a while this starts to get 
a little bit annoying...

Thank you in advance,
Victor
