Bug

Body

Reported in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-161128.
IDE: PHPStorm 2024.2.
GitHub Copilot (1.5.20.6554)

Whenever I open a specific project I have, PHPStorm starts freezing immediately with the spinner not even moving anymore.

In the logs, I saw the GitHub copilot chat is doing IO in UI thread which freezes the IDE.

Same here. Copilot is making my IDE unstable, freezing left and right. I'll have to disable until this is fixed.

My guess is that GitHub Copilot doesn't play nice with other AI plugins.
