Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201203210400) Operating System = Linux version 3.2.0-20-generic-pae running on i386 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.6.0_24 Runtime = OpenJDK Client VM 20.0-b12 1:) I called the Find Dialog first, 2:) and then drag an tabbed Editor out from main-area. 3:) and then in the Find Dialog, the option-(Selection) disappear.
Scope "Selection" is shown only if the current selection is searchable. Does "Selection" appear again if you select a project or a folder in Projects window or Files window?
Closing. Please reopen if you can provide us with more information or if you encounter some problems with disappearing search scopes.
now using the version of NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201203250401) It works now.
