After upgrading to Debian 13 and bringing Emacs 28 up to date Company is causing Emacs to hang more often and using emacs in the form of EXWM makes it worse?

These are the suggestions offered by Google search.


(1) Disabling mouse selection in company-mode

I don't use the mouse for selecting company candidates unless having the mouse around the candidate list can cause problems.


(with-eval-after-load 'company
;;Disable mouse election and scrolling within the company popup
(define-key company-active-map mouse-1 nil)
(define-key company-active-map down-mouse-1 nil)
(define-key company-active-map mouse-3 nil)
)


(2) Forcing the completion frontend to use native tooltips rather than graphics overlays using the OS

(setq company-frontends '(company-pseudo-tootip-frontend
company-echo-metadata-frontend
company-preview-frontend))


(3) Checking for async/lsp interference

I don't use lsp, treesitter or eglot yet


Any experiences here?

I am leaning towards no 2, using native tooltips.


PS. I know the errors are from company because I used =pkill -SIGUSR2 emacs= to break out of it and the Backtrace window showed the errors, but forgot to copy it.
