I'm at a loss as why turning off prompts didn't help the first time but did after that. I was working on a rather messy debug script when this started, and I wonder if there was a pattern to the script that clashed with a problem in SQL Prompt. I was making changes to columns in table variables when most if not all of the hangs occurred, especially adding new ones and then referencing them in queries. I was working locally with SQL Server 2017. Both SQL Prompt and SSMS had updated recently. When the hangs started, my VPN was down and I brought it up in case "something" was trying to access the remote (Azure) DBs, a pattern I have seen before (not necessarily involving SQL Prompt). It didn't help. The hangs were long, running a minute or more each, but not permanent for the most part. There was one that left the UI dead (no updating) and I had to restart SSMS. Eventually I restarted WIndows -- it didn't help. After that I just killed and restarted SSMS each time it hung, because it was faster than waiting for the hangs to resolve. I saw flickering in the user interface during the hangs. This is not too unusual, because I run Windows in a VMWare Fusion VM on my MacBook Pro and the display can be a little strange sometimes. The flickering suggests that something was repainting constantly. / comments

Toggling 'Enable Suggestions' off does stop the hangs. I must have hit it twice by mistake. It's a workaround, but this is not a good situation. / comments
