copy/paste cuases freeze with 'formatting text' popup
Copy and paste causes VS to hang with a popup 'formatting text'. I copy and paste a single word, and it happens regularly in both C# and typescript, indicating it is clearly an IDE issue.
Thank you for submitting feedback . In order to efficiently investigate and reproduce this issue, could you please give us a dump file so that we can conduct further research?
You are able to get the files with the following steps:

Go back to the first instance and repro the issue.

I've just experienced this problem aswell, and I remember it happening in VS2017 a couple of times since the release.
I've got a similar issue. It seems that the dialog is only shown on first-time copy and pasting after the launch of VS2017. But, in my case, the dialog was disappeared after a few seconds, no hang up.
I have the same issue. I am editing a large app.ts file (2559 lines [long story]) and it is freezing for a long time when I copy or cut. If I cancel, the copy/cut operation completes (oddly enough). I have the VS 2017 Community version. Restarting VS does nothing to help; I just have to keep canceling.
This problem still exist in the latest update of VS 2017 Enterprise, if you copy then session is freezing. Only solution is to kill the process and relaunch it. but you cannot run copy in anyway, but if you copy then need to make sure cancel that popup otherwise gone.
What update is it fixed in? I am still seeing it in the latest 15.3.5.
This is by far the worse release of VS in my experience - and I've been using it for nearly 10 years now. I keep running into bugs like these, which can be very frustrating, and takes you months to fix them (this bug is opened in March). Really dissapointing...
I agree Visual studio 2017 is terrible. THIS IS NOT FIXED IN 15.4 I AM RUNNING 15.4.1

The error was fixed back in October last year as stated above, so that statement is still valid. It has been reintroduced in one of the latest new versions (probably 15.5.3). I've experienced it in 15.5.4.
15.5.6 - the problem is still present. And I have waited 15 minutes for it to go away.
