Ubuntu getting stuck when a sentence is too long

[MrinalSinghania]

Hi,

I'm facing a very strange problem. Whenever I copy and paste long sentences (more than 7000 characters in a single line) from webpages etc, on my editor gedit or even eclipse, the screen gets dimmer and my system becomes too slow, and seems non-responsive.

For instance, I was trying to store the list of first 10,000 primes in an array for which I used an on-line calculator (an applet) to generate the list of primes separated by commas, when I copied the text and pasted in gedit, the system would not respond, and I had to force quit the application.

Any one else facing the same problem?

Cheers.
