Code completion is broken in IntelliJ after updating the IDE to v2019.2.1 (using the Linux version), and the Kotlin plugin to v1.3.50 with a new Kotlin Native project. No code completion dialog appears when editing a kts file, and attempting code completion in a kt file will cause the keyboard input to become garbled (eg some keys like A are not recognised in the code editor, and some are outputted as a completely different character) ☹️ 😡.

[napperley]

The code editor is going berserk at times with randomly inserting spaces when typing in a character.

Ending up with the same problems with keyboard input/code completion in both kt and kts files. Narrowed down the problems coming from the Kotlin v1.3.50 plugin.

[napperley]

The keyboard problems occur in the editor regardless of which file is edited (occurs with all file types).

[napperley]

Definitely know that the laptop keyboard isn't broken since the A key for example is being properly picked up in other programs like Geany.

Did you try and "Invalidated and restart"?

Tried the "Invalidate and restart" method which doesn't work. The only method that works is the remove user settings, and IntelliJ directories, followed by a fresh IntelliJ install.
