Describe the Bug
Whenever I create a new project or open a folder, the program starts freezing constantly—about once every second. Memory usage looks fine, the project is empty, and I can’t think of what might be causing this. I also don’t have any extensions installed that could interfere.
Steps to Reproduce
To reproduce the error, just open some folder
