Public bug reported: I think gedit has problem opening Protein Data Bank files (.pdb)
If gedit is launched from the terminal this two messages appear when gedit hangs (gedit:1969): GtkSourceView-WARNING **: Could not find word to remove in buffer (THR), this should not happen! (gedit:1969): GtkSourceView-WARNING **: Could not find word to remove in buffer (ATOM), this should not happen! "THR" and "ATOM" are strings present in the .pbd files gedit become unresponsive and in few seconds the memory usage of gedit is more than 1 Gb (according to system monitor) and hence all programs become unresponsive. The only "solution" is to kill gedit or force shutdown of Ubuntu. The problem seems to be random and not related to the size of the file. Reloading and open file also (sometimes) hangs gedit.
