xml file with a content written in one line

right after the opening of the attached xml file gedit remains unresponsive. 

additionally after some seconds of hanging a message appears:

Hi, this is a limitation on GtkTextView.
Comment 2 Sébastien Wilmet 2013-11-01 21:58:17 UTC 
gedit should load files asynchronously and not block the UI. It should be possible for example to close a file while it is loading.
Comment 3 Sébastien Wilmet 2014-07-09 13:39:28 UTC 
It seems to be fixed with the new file loading code landed on git master, it'll be available for gedit 3.14.
