Is anyone else seeing this? It's cropped in the last few builds, but I've been distracted and haven't noticed exactly which one.
The very first time I make a mistake, and force VAX to try to find a symbol that doesn't exist, it takes maybe 45 seconds to finish; the status bar says "Searching", which I assume comes from VAX. (I still say VAX messages should be prefixed as such.)
For example, I just typed "m_butto" and hit Ctrl-space. Sadly, though, there is no matching symbol; I was suppossed to have typed "m_obutton". So I get to sit for 45 seconds...
No other ill effects, but it's very aggravating to have to sit and wait once a day...

i have just done the same thing in .NET 2003 with VAX 1246
i have various member variables starting m_str, eg m_strDisplayReason
so i typed m_sr and then hit ctrl_space
by my watch it was 28 seconds before anything happened. the IDE just totally froze 
it certainly felt longer than 28 seconds, and this happens to me on a fairly regular basis, certainly it can happen several times a day.
i got no status bar updates, the string "11 symbols found" remained on the status bar, since i had mistakenly typed m_str the first time, and VAX produced a list of 11 items. it was surprisingly hard to make the typo when you want to 
i was finally presented with:
which i think is an IDE list box, since no helpful comments appeared.
i have always assumed that all of these highly irritating lockup's are the IDE's fault, since i experienced them in .NET 2003 before discovering VAX. |

| Yet another argument for prefixing status bar messages with "VAX:" - I wouldn't have blamed VAX if I had known for a fact it was the IDE at fault. |

| The style of highlighting and scrollbar tell us feline's listbox is from the IDE. Default Intellisense often takes 30+ seconds to "warm up." Not sure what it's doing -- probably populating, or caching, a listbox with oodles of symbols. |
