Bug: Notepad++ crash when trying to replace many items

[Thunder T]

Hello
I had an xml file and converted it to text using xml tools plugin and saved it as text file, then made some changes in resulting text file; later I needed to remove some extra spaces in order to later convert the text back to xml. For example I needed to replace "&lt " to “&” when doing Find there was more than 18,000 found items, but after clicking replace All, program freezes and crashes after a few seconds.
