[Github-comments] [geany] Hang on "Reflow" with lots of spaces (#848)

[Ben Wiederhake]

This is the minimal files I could produce that triggers the hang:

	aaaaaaaaaaaa                                                                               bbbbbbb
	aaaaaaaaaaaa                                                                               bbbbbbb

I uploaded this file at http://pastebin.com/CVLxZsrJ

Steps to reproduce:

- Open the given file in geany
- Select from the menu "Edit > Format > Reflow Lines/Block", or simply press Ctrl-J

This behavior can *always* be reproduced, and still happens with the newest version I found on git (`git describe: 1.26.0-14-gd1fcd9f`). This does not seem to be related to #815, but I'm not sure. This does not seem to be related to any other known bug in this bugtracker. This does not seem to be related to any other known bug in [the Debian BTS](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=geany).

Expected behaviour: The text should change in some way. Not sure and don't care how exactly.

Actual behaviour: Geany stops responding and does not write out any status information when being forcefully closed.

Here's a log of gdb trying to show the stacks of all four(?) threads: http://pastebin.com/mA7DRbLg

Here's what your webpage requires for bugreports:

    $ # Filetype: None
    $ LC_ALL=C geany --version
    geany 1.26 (built on 2015-11-24 with GTK 2.24.28, GLib 2.46.2)
    $ file mincrash.txt 
    mincrash.txt: ASCII text

Against, please note that I can still find this bug in the newest version, fresh from git.
