As Turtle said, I've seen this happen more when doing replace/find next (ctrl-]) quickly. The press-and-hold find example is just an easier way to trigger this crash.

(My workflow with ctrl-] often is "quickly tap, tap, tap, tap, oops saw something that didn't look right flash by... ctrl-Z, ctrl-Z, look closer, fix" and back to "tap, tap, tap". And sometimes Sigil would crash during the "tap, tap, tap" but then work just once I started again. And as icallaci said, save early and save often (or use the new checkpoint feature!).)

@KevinH - I'd not previously reported this because it was never easy to reproduce. It might have happened once, then not again for a few months. I figured that sort of bug report was pretty much useless without a reproducer. Is this sort of vague bug worth reporting in the future under those types of circumstances?
