I've just managed to get scintilla into an endless loop (doesn't happen
in scite though).

In my app I have a file opened with numourous instances of the word
'strategy' in it.

I go to the top of the file and do a case insensitive search/replace of
'strategy' with 'optimisticStrategy'. Well you can guess what happens...

Because the substituted word contains the searched for word scintilla
keeps substituting the Strategy part that was put their by the previous
replace - and this goes on ad infinitum. Am I doing something wrong or
is this a bug?

I think there is something wrong in your wrapper code. Since this doesn't happens in SciTE, it shows you fall in a trap that was avoided in the SciTE implementation.

I only worked this out when I saw the horizontal scroll bar thumb
getting narrower and narrower telling me that the lines were getting
longer and longer.
