Description:
I've got a large query open in a query tab. This one has 3 joins and a complex boolean WHERE clause of 90 lines (once prettified).

Any edits much over 20 lines into the WHERE clause cause a lock up that gets significantly worse the further down in the query I'm working. Even adding a comment down at the bottom causes this top-of-the-line brand new macbook to spike to 100% on the processor and mysql to never return from the pinwheel of doom. Force quit is my only option.

How to repeat:
Try to modify a very large, complex query, especially near the bottom, with code completion enabled.

Suggested fix:
Code completion should not kill workbench when working on a large query.

Workaround is, of course, to disable code completion.

This issue occurs on all platforms (I'm on Windows 10). It has been around since at least 8.0.11.
