Repro
Create a file in plain text mode and fill it with:
((a+a) + ~30 times (a+a), which looks like ((a+a) (a+a) (a+a) (a+a) ...
Change the file language to C#.
This causes VSCode to stop responding.
This does not happen with other languages like C++, F#, Java, JavaScript.
Interestingly, in the following slight variations of this, everything works fine.
( on line 1 + (a+a) (a+a) (a+a) (a+a) ... on line 2
((a+a)(a+a)(a+a)(a+a) ...
When the line is smaller (around 15 to 20 times (a+a)), the the editor does not stop responding, but takes long to respond to any changes made to the file (like typing a letter). The larger the line, the longer it takes.
