TOAD 16.0.9 for oracle gone hangs intermittently

TOAD 16.0.9

Im working with TOAD since 1998 yarrooooo!!!
I havent seen this before.

hangs very frequently... (trying to put an exact time on it but not seeing a pattern, at least every few minutes).

I could have whole sentences written out, nothing on screen, wait 3-4 seconds and then the sentence outputs. Ive a stopwatch app opened and theres no pattern, could be every few minutes, could be every few seconds.

No other app on desktop affected, only TOAD.

Restarted.
Disable all object name highlighting in editor options.

I remember a long time ago I could output everything that the editor was doing in a code debug window so I could track everything it was sending to DB but cant remember how to do that if anyone knows.

Any idea?

Main Menu -> Database -> Spool SQL -> Spool to Screen.

Other things you can try:
Options -> Editor -> Behavior: Uncheck "Backup Editor every ___ minutes"
Options -> Editor -> Code Assist: Uncheck "Enable Syntax Check"

What's happening when it hangs? Is disk or CPU busy?

"Spool to screen" !! thats the one I was looking for, Ill see if that throws up anything.

I changed backup editor to every 30 mins instead of 3 mins to see if that makes a difference before I turn off syntax check
