Summary: selecting text often freezes application

Initial Comment:
I'm running jEdit 4.0 on Linux with this version of Java:

   Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition 
   (build 1.4.0_02-b02)

JEdit will often completely hang following selection of
text in the text area. I select text, say, by pressing
shift then using the arrow keys, then the entire
application freezes. I have had this problem on three
different machines. It is keeping me from using jEdit
as my primary editor. This behavior is not consistent.
I can often select text with no problem, but it happens
often enough, maybe 10% or 15% of the time.

Does this occur with jEdit 4.1?

Memory heap size doesn't seem to be the problem. I increased
both the initial memory heap and the maximum memory heap.
The last time it hung, according to the indicator in the
lower right-hand corner, it was only using about 10 megs out
of 32 megs of memory heap.

The problem also doesn't seem to be a specific JVM, since on
the last machine it hung on was running the Sun JRE 1.3.

The selections in question can be very small, often just a
few lines of text, and in the last case only about fifteen
characters.

Try increasing the heap memory allotted to your VM (-mx96m)
and see if jEdit freezes as often.

By the way, i don't believe that jEdit 3.9 has this problem.
