- create a .js file with content:

+ hi
+ hi
+ hi

- Ctrl+F to show Find
- check Options > Regular Expression
- in the Find With text enter: ^\+
  -> highlights the '+' at the beginning of each line, good
- press Replace and note that the selection cycles through the +'s, but does not replace them; this is possibly the root cause of the problem
- now press Replace All and the Find continues forever (possibly also because option Wrap Search is checked by default)
