by the way, I had the very same problem in bbedit last week, searching this group helped me find the answer! thanks for this dialogue.
I tried to execute a complex grep pattern in playground (which I realized too late I could greatly simplify :-) )on a .json dataset file and bbedit choked, I know it choked because I gave it a couple hours on my quad-pro and it was still hung, same when I tried to restart. thanks for the info on the startup options! I love bbedit, it is a vital tool in my dev work, and pattern playground is handy, I just realized to be careful with the complexity of my patterns if the playground is pointed at a large open file.
