copy+paste >8k rows in geany and gedit with default options no longer works, is there a copy/paste limit?

Question

I've been editing manually some files with geany and things have been so far so good. I got recently one with >11k rows (5 columns), and I needed to copy (ctrl+c) >8k rows from it and paste (ctrl+v) (ie. replace) them into another file. The copy-paste process stopped working with this "big" file, so I assume there is a limit somewhere with it in geany. I received no error messages at all, so is there a limit? the same happens with gedit. I've not modified anything in both apps (ie. default options).

I prefer to do this with any of these applications, so any hint to get this working will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

I got it, nedit worked perfectly.
