Immediately after starting up sheets, try typing something
like "System.out.println"

Right as you type the "S" at the beginning, Sheets loads all
possible completions that use "S", even though the user
probably is going ot keep typing a lot more, at least "Sy"
or "Sys" -- however, the user cannot finish typing until
Sheets has loaded all possible completions.

Loading these completions in a thread would be great for
the patience of users.

    I took your suggestion and used a thread. It is much less
    intrusive now.

    Half of this bug is closed. These are loaded in a thread when
    typing into the "Location/Go" search box at the top. However,
    when typing into the a regular edit box, it still appears to be
    loading inline.
