Description
What happened?
I'm running version 2.46.0 of the plugin with intellij 2024.1.1
With the latest version of the plugin intellij sometimes gets in a state where every key press triggers an optimize imports/reformat. For example, when writing a javadoc every keypress causes intellij to optimize imports. The other scenario I've noticed is hitting enter in outside a method in a java source file triggers a reformat/optimize imports - immediately removing the new line I just added. For both of these scenarios I've been temporarily disabling the plugin until I'm done doing work, and then re-enabling to format.
I'll add an update if I'm able to figure out what triggers the excessive optimization behavior to start, as it doesn't always occur.
What did you want to happen?
Less frequent reformats and optimizations. Ideally the reformats could occur on save

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior with palantir-java-format plugin 2.46.0 in IntelliJ 2024.1.1, testing both Javadoc edits and pressing Enter outside a Java method. Record what triggers the repeated optimize-imports and reformat actions. Done means normal typing no longer reformats continuously, with formatting and import optimization occurring at the intended time.
