quoting selection freezes app

[davidjdixon]

Issue Type: Bug

during some routine pasting of code into the editor (pasting a yaml structure into a python file), I was attempting to reformat the data to a python object... during which I do the normal "select key, press quote key" to wrap the keys in quotes.

After updating vscode to the latest release, and performing this change, the editor suddenly froze/crashed. I forced quit, tried the same thing... freeze/crash.

I tried this a few more times doing slight variations in approach to see if it was something else (and even disabled a recently installed extension to see if it could have caused it)... no difference. the editor freezes out, unable to use editor view, yet menus open/close file (although actions from the menus were not being performed while the app was frozen).

VS Code version: Code 1.26.0 (4e9361845dc28659923a300945f84731393e210d, 2018-08-13T16:20:44.170Z) OS version: Darwin x64 17.7.0

@davidjdixon can you please share with us a python file or a similar one that reproduces the freeze ?
