autocomplete "not responding"

In a Query tab if I enter say:

SELECT * FROM mydb.

As soon I type the 'dot' auto-complete kicks in a produces a list of database objects. However my database is quite large and has lots of objects and the HeidiSQL window goes in to a "not responding" state for a few seconds preventing me from typing in the object name manually if I already know it.

It would be great if the auto-complete functionality was non-blocking and just continued silently in the background or just stopped on the next key press.

You can
* disable the autocompleter: Preferences > SQL > Uncheck "Enable completion proposal"
* speed up getting table names: Session manager > Advanced > Uncheck "Get full table status"
