When performing a search and replace on a large file after clicking on the "Replace All" button of the search and replace dialog the application looks as if it has hung. However what is happening is that the text is being replaced.

It would be better if an hourglass was shown for the duration of the process to indicate that things are happening. Also performing the replace in a separate thread would make the GUI responsive during this time as well.

Making it responsive requires threading, or at least a repaint from time to time. I'll do it the last way probably. Hourglass sounds reasonable.
