Description
I've been hitting this a lot recently.
Squiggle updates are being blocked because it thinks it's in the middle of an existing update when it's not.
Not sure of an easy repro yet -- is anyone able to figure out any repro steps?
I've also seen that outline view (tag parsing) not updating as it should randomly, might be unrelated.

Research direction
The issue mentions IntelliSense squiggle updates and outline view tag parsing, but provides no file, test, or reproduction steps. Start by investigating the extension's IntelliSense update flow and establish a reliable edit sequence; done means reproducing the stale updates and confirming they refresh correctly, with the outline-view symptom either explained or separated.
