Crash select 'TextPad' from menu in TextPad open file dialog

(7.4.0, 64-bit)
For some reason, I've done this like eight times in the past month, and I have to kill TextPad every time, or wait for it to crash, which can take a while.

'Replace All' finding '\t|$' finds line ending infinitely

I have some lines of tab delimited data, and I want pipe-delimited (and terminated) data. Since I have a leading tab, I search for '\t|$' and replace with '\|'. This creates and infinite loop -- it finds the line ending, replaces it with a '|' and finds the new line ending.
