After upgrading to Visual Studio 2017 v15.8.0, when I place my cursor on a namespace, then Ctrl+., I get a popup box with the title "Show Suggestions" and inside it says "Gathering Suggestions" and it just stays there until I click the cancel button. I never get any suggestions. I haven't noticed this behavior with any other suggestions yet, just the namespace.
