Description

I am using Sublime Text 2 Version 2.0.2, Build 2221. If I select even a moderately large for loop, much less trying to refactor code, my Sublime Text 2 will completely freeze and the only thing I can do to fix it is Force Quit it.

I went into the package and checked out 3.3.1, and I'm no longer suffering from this issue.

Research direction

Reproduce the freeze in the package using Sublime Text 2 with versions 3.3.3333 and 3.4.1 by selecting a large for loop, then compare behavior with version 3.3.1. Trace the regression between those package versions and verify that large selections no longer freeze or crash the editor.
