Last commit 
https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas/-/commit/2033e6cb254729266bd2783d2e3294e1592ac7d9 
should fix the problem.

For information, when you create a background task in a GUI program, the 
background task must not do any GUI thing, because it can lead to an 
internal deadlock in the GUI toolkit, freezing the application.

This is what the IDE search task did unexpectedly by reading the Text 
property of a TextEditor control, that sometimes can trigger events when 
highlighting the text before returning it.

I'm not 100% sure this is the correct analysis, so please report if you 
encounter a freeze again.
