Title:
  Gedit crashes when editing a file

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am using Linux Mint (I don't know if I should report bugs here or somewhere else).
  After upgrading to Qiana, gedit has become very slow, in particular after long sessions of editing Prolog files,
  and seems to be very slow in finding matching brackets.
  I don't know if this can help, but I noticed that the bracket matching tries to match the symbols "less than" < and "greater than" >
  as if I was editing an html file; maybe it gets confused and finds too many unmatched '<' symbols?

  Occasionally, it crashes. This happens rather often, but non-
  deterministically.

  This is the message I got:

  (gedit:6314): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gedit' received an X Window System error.
  This probably reflects a bug in the program.
  The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
    (Details: serial 3222167 error_code 16 request_code 18 (core protocol) minor_code 0)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
     that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
     To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
     variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
     backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
  Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

  Thank you!
