Yup, I do here as well.  Seems like it only happens the first time I run
the "Run" dialoge after a while though.  If I run it again right after
typing is fine and completion is fine as well.  It also seems that it
only happens after I start typing.  The app will be fine, I put in the
first character and things freeze up.

I wonder if this has to do with the command line completion, or loading
a list of runnable files into memory or searching the path for
everything executable that starts with the letter I typed or something 
like that?
