I tried to open bootstrap.min.css and add a few lines of css at the bottom, saved the file under a new name and that's when Brackets became unresponsive. After a few minutes the cursor came back, typed a few characters then froze again.
Works fine with the non-minimized version of bootstrap. I think it's just to much compact css for it to handle because the code doesn't even show up with the css syntax color, it's all gray.

@keld30 Yeah, Brackets (and many other browser-based editors) has trouble with large minified files. This is a known issue. The best workaround is to edit unminified code (and use a build step to produce minified assets for distribution).

@keld30 FYI, there's an active pull request trying to improve performance for this scenario if you care to contribute, test, or just listen in.
