Sublime Text 2 hangs in search/replace when editing non-conformant Python code sections

#1

There is a problem when editing a large chunk on non-conformant code in a file designated as python. (i.e.) filename ends with .py
Search/replace hangs the program forever when attempting to search/replace the non-conformant section of code. The hang can be prevented by ‘commenting’ out the non-conformant section using the 3 quotes method. When this is done the program functions normally and the search/replace completes. My guess is that background syntax-checking is being done and with large sections of non-conformant code, the load is too great.
