File size limit on XML files in Idea 7?

Hello Willis,

This is not a problem, but rather behavior by design. For performance reasons,
IntelliJ IDEA treats files larger than a certain size as plain text files.

You can adjust the limit by editing idea.properties file (property idea.max.intellisense.filesize).

When I open a 2.5MB XML in Idea 7.0.5, I don't see code folding
controls or anything in the structural view. "Validate" and "XML
Refactorings" menu items don't show up in either the context menu or
the menu bar. Reformatting doesn't work, either.

It's as if Idea does not recognize this as an XML file.

I'm able to open, manipulate and validate this file in Oxygen with no
errors, so I know the file is fine.

Is this a known problem in 7.X, and if so has it been fixed in 8 or 9?
If not, I'll file a bug.

Thanks,
Willis Morse
