since update to gvim-9.2.0038-1-x86_64 on archlinux, omnicomplete now shows up by default while typing (exactly as described in #19308 --it didn't before) and then hangs forever (exactly as described in #4493 ).

process tree looks like

gvim,56064 src/file.ts
  ├─node-MainThread,56107 ./node_modules/.bin/tsserver
  │   ├─node-MainThread,56137 ./node_modules/typescript/lib/typingsInstaller.js --globalTypingsCacheLocation ~/.cache/typescript/5.8 --typesMapLocation...

Killing the underlying LSP process does not restore vim to a functional state.

also happens with backspace= (originally had set backspace=eol,start,indent)

starting gvim -f will cause the problem to happens in different places? (or i am just going crazy). But more importantly, I can recover the session just fine with ^C. If running without foreground, i must kill vim.

I can compare with VIM - Vi IMproved 9.1 (2024 Jan 02, compiled Oct 21 2025 14:27:36) which I have compiled from source when trying to debug something else here, and none of this happens (i must manually invoke omnicomplete, and when i invoke it, it doesn't crash anything)

and since i adopted the gvim -f+^C workaround to finish some work... i've been doing that a lot, and noticed sometimes when i ^C on the terminal, the omnicomplete window shows up on vim with the correct expected contents!
