I'd also like to add that when using "Find in project..." and something gets matched in a very long line TM becomes extremely unresponsive.

The current workaround for me is to exclude such files from searches in .tm_properties.

But maybe it's a quick fix to at least truncate the find results if TM can't handle rendering very long lines nicely?
