Find & Replace -- crash when many results


Recommended Posts

Clicking "replace all" in the "Find and Replace" panel crashes the app when there is too many results.

I am working on a 20 page XML file and have tried removing all HTML/XML code by searching for the regular expression "<.*?>" and replacing it with "nothing" -- the results are somewhere in the thousands.
When I use above expression and click on "replace all" the app reliably crashes, when I find and replace single commands first to reduce the amount of results (e.g. <div> and </div>), the regular expression works afterwards, so I conclude that the app only crashes when it's too many results / operations.

I have used the workaround above (reducing results) but have kept the original file -- it's confidential, but if it's of any use I can upload it for inspection.
