Downstream bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/45174

Binary package hint: gedit

1) lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
Release:	15.04

2) apt-cache policy gedit
gedit:
  Installed: 3.10.4-0ubuntu7
  Candidate: 3.10.4-0ubuntu7
  Version table:
 *** 3.10.4-0ubuntu7 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ vivid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What is expected to happen is when one opens the attached document https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/45174/+attachment/11438/+files/spaces.txt > Ctrl+H > in the "Search for:" text box put a space > immediately click button Replace All, all the spaces are removed.

4) What happens instead is gedit hangs indefinitely. Originally reproduced in gedit 2.12.1.
