--- Comment #2 from Felix Schumacher <[email protected]> ---
The used regex is badly composed and will take a long time on moderately long
inputs.

The important pieces here are, that the matching is done in the awt thread and
thus blocking the GUI. Secondly Java has no standard way to interrupt regex
matches.

On

Is a nice wrapper for charsequence, which in combination with a thread can be
used to make the matching interruptible.

I think I can produce a patch, but it will probably take a few days.
