Accidentally copy/pasting a large payload into URL field causes app to hang

[amclin]

Describe the bug
Postman on OSX maxes out the CPU and hangs if you inadvertently copy/paste a large string into the URL field.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Copy a large JSON object from a text file (thousands of lines)
2. Paste into the URL field
3. App hangs and processor ramps up to 100%

Expected behavior
Postman displays an error or warning

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

App information (please complete the following information):

• OSX Native App
• Postman Version 7.0.7
• OS: OSX 10.14.3

Additional context
This can happen when you're busy switching between windows. The copy/paste buffer may contain a much larger object than Postman is expecting.

Any update on this one? I am seeing similar hang when pasting a large and valid POST XML in the body (around 6MB).

@neilmario70 @ramit-rulz It doesn't seem to occur when pasting 2MB+ JSON/XML in the Body of the request. But it does hand when pasting the same content in URL field. I suspect it has something to do with the search API, but I'll get a confirmation on this.
