Search and Replace - Hangs

[drveresh]

Prerequisites

• Can you reproduce the problem with Debug -> Reload Without Extensions?
• Did you perform a cursory search to see if your bug or enhancement is already reported?
• Did you read the Troubleshooting guide?

Description

The entire app gets hangs and freezes while doing search and replace.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open a text file, maybe small, medium or large ones
2. Search plain keywords and regex
3. Search and Replace plain keywords and regex

Expected behavior:
Find and Replace should work seamlessly and without hanging

Actual behavior:
3/5 times Find and Replace doesn't work, it just hangs the entire Editor, and cannot even move mouse cursors, even for small files (10-50k). The same issue with RegEx replaces also. Where as Sublime Text editors work great, even for large files (GBs).
