Answer 1

I am running Visual Studio 2012 Professional in a Virtual Machine, connecting using rdesktop from a Linux machine.

None of the other suggestions worked, but solved the problem was:

• Go to the 'Find and Replace' screen. (ctrl-shift-f in my case)
• Enter a search text and choose 'Entire Solution'
• Hit 'Find Next', it should find a result.
• Hit 'Find All', now works without aborting. (Note, i hit my Mouse really hard and some swearing was involved, too, but I don't think that has any relevance apart from a psychological one :D )
