Doing an automatic replace can cause a recursive loop. For example, trying to replace the string ABC with ABCDEF - it replaces the first instance, then identifies the BC at the beginning of that string. It replaces it, to give ABCDEFDEF, and then does it again. THis goes into an endless recursive loop. Better would be for the search to begin again at the end of the replacement text entered.
