Description Sebastian Breier 2007-10-23 11:46:03 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I just opened a 400 MB text file (mbox mail file) in gedit, and it my system has now been unresponsive for minutes. Other editors can open large files without a problem. Also, there's no progress bar or cancel button that would make it easy to see how long gedit is loading the file or to cancel the load.

Steps to reproduce:
