Description

Image
This is awful. I was previously able to press F2 and rename a symbol. Today I try to do that and you have done something with your extension that makes it take 20x as long. What's more, I can't find the setting to disable this AWFUL behaviour anywhere. I mostly use this feature to deobsfucate code for. You've completely broken my workflow. Thanks.

Research direction

The report names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the F2 symbol rename in the C/C++ extension and identify what causes the delay and where the behavior can be disabled; done means rename responsiveness is restored or the new behavior has a documented setting.
