Is this reproducible? What does "freeze" mean - how long did you wait?
Does the browser console (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn255006 ) provide any information?

Yes, i can reproduce it again (but sometime needs to add two lines to freeze). I am waiting until unresponsive script message and even select to wait more does not unfreeze the page.
About console, there is only error message on first click into the textarea:

JQMIGRATE: jQuery.event.handle is undocumented and deprecated
console.trace()

at handler (Unknown script code:141:283)

but the browser not freeze after this message, only after adding first (or second) blank line (if there is already some text in textarea).

Might be more interesting to check the "Network" tab of the console (or whatever IE calls that) to show the loading times. This is on Commons I guess?

The unresponsive script warning typically means an infinite loop.
