Glad that was useful.

Do you know which plugin it was?

If there's reason to believe it may be one particular plugin, it would 
be enormously helpful to the author if you could run a quick test with 
all of your plugins present except that one and see if the problem goes 
away. If the problem recurs after you've put it back you've found the 
culprit.

No one wants to ship plugins that create mystifying time sinks for its 
users. A quick note about incompatibility with a particular version will 
be very helpful for the plugin author.

Given that v8 is for the most part purely a superset of capabilities 
with few (if any) truly deprecated tokens, incompatibilities unique to 
the current version are rare.  But if the plugin is doing something 
unusual, such as relying on undocumented calls internal to the IDE, 
those are adventurous decisions a plugin author will anticipate may need 
revision from time to time, and your bug report to the plugin author 
will no doubt be most welcome.
