Although not using Ubuntu directly, I am using Mint, which is based on it (Tina - 19.2, based on Bionic, MATE edition). Might be the same problem. If not applicable, then please ignore my comment.
I can reproduce this in all machines I have, in a few simple steps:

1-Open a terminal and leave 'top' open to check the processes;
2-Open 'xed'
3-Press shift inside of xed
4-Look at the terminal running top
5-To make it stop using 100% cpu, simply change focus to any window other than xed (the terminal, for example).

This happens everytime, and is really annoying. If I try to copy text (ctrl-c), it triggers the bug as well, and forces me to change focus to have the system become usable again.
I have attached a screenshot of my top output while the bug is happening. Before triggering it, all processes were running below 1% according to top.
