Point taken. Still, going unresponsive for minutes is not a good trait
for any interactive software.
How about a size limit (configurable?) beyond which pgAdmin displays a
particular cell read-only, with truncated text or a warning in place of
the text. This would protect the user who unknowingly displays a table
entry with a large text field, while preserving the editing integrity.
