[bug] editing long strings

Hello,

This might be related to the OS update I just installed, because I have
never noticed this before:

Editing a long string (containing some hard returns) directly in the ODB
browser crashes Frontier.

Versions: 8.0b46, Mac OS X 10.1.3

The reproduction recipe (careful! nasty crash ahead!):

myString = string.filledString ('x', 10000);
workspace.testString = myString + cr + myString + cr;

when trying to alter some of the characters in 'workspace.testString'
Frontier 'unexpectedly quits', sometimes preceded by an 'out of memory' error.

Can anyone confirm this?
