From:
To:
pasting 'extremely' long lines of text can make gedit crash xorg,
causing a restart and losing any unsaved data/files/work

text was pasted from 'view page source' option in browser,
computer generated html from 'sitebuilder'

big ugly code with long lone lines and huge whitespace areas

bug #360535 seems related, but not as severe:
gedit performs very slowly, hogs a ton of memory, and crashes on large datasets without newlines

        Hi,

 This is a known bug.  It will not crash xorg but consume all your
 system memory.  xorg probably crashes in such a scenario, but that's a
 different story.

   Bye,
