kwrite crash backtrace
SUMMARY
Kate and Kwrite are crashing after using search/replace with "escape sequences"
and replacing newlines.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kwrite
2. Hold down enter until you have like 200 lines
(About two times the height of the screen in the scroll bar for me)
3. Press CTRL+R to open Replace widget
4. Set it to "Escape Sequences"
5. Search for "\n" and replace with "\t"
OBSERVED RESULT
It renders the replaced text and triggers a segmentation fault.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should just search and replace as it used to do back in the days and not
crash afterwards.
