opening text files with one or more long lines makes the application unresponding

I was trying to edit a file representing a BTREE structure and some of the lines I realised were very, very long (15000 char long). I realise too the little use of having a line so long opened in a file editor because it would be difficultt to read anyway, but I noticed that ,for example, NOTEPAD++ opens the long line without any problem.

Anyway, I find the application very useful for developing and I take this opportunity for thank you for your work.

Steps to reproduce Create a .txt file with at least one very long line (as I said in my case 15000 char long); I used the no word wrap view mode.

Expected behaviour The application should not get in an unresponding state.
