VS 2015 hanging when writing a left parenthesis

[Emanuel_C_]

Hi all,

I am facing an issue that when typing code my visual studio is hanging whenever I open a new parenthesis. This issue was previously reported here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-compiler-for-windows/topic/366189 however I am new to FORTRAN and also Visual Studio so I did not understand the solution given. Can someone help me solving this?

I am using:
-Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 -Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3
-Inter Parallel Studio XE 2017 Update 4 Composer Edition for Fortran Windows 

Best regards and many thanks

I don't find the option I mentioned in that old post that the developers said they would add. Try this,

In Visual Studio, go to Tools > Options > Text Editor > Fortran > Advanced. Set all the choices to False.  Click OK and restart Visual Studio.

I have seen this problem with very long source files. It doesn't "hang" in that it will eventually resume, but it is incredibly annoying.

If you are not willing to turn off Advanced features, try entering

) LeftArrow (

IOW enter the close paren first, then back arrow to insert open paren second, and then continue inserting text betwixt.

Many thanks for the answers. 
Surprisingly I was facing the problem with very small codes (<200 lines).

From yesterday, I updated my parallel studio to Update 5 and also disabled the hardware graphics acceleration if available under Tools, Options , Environment.

I think it was the update that solved the problem (don't know if it makes sense as I updated Parallel Studio and not VS) since I can activate the graphics acceleration and still works!  At the moment under Tools > Options > Text Editor > Fortran > Advanced I only have the option Disable Database False.
