This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: 1) Select some folder in the Projects or Files view. 2) Perform "Find in Projects" (Ctrl+F) with scope "Selection" (which means the selected folder and sub-folders), such that there are search results. 3) From the Search Results window, open some of the results in the editor. 4) Press the Modify Criteria button in the Search Results window. -> The scope is still "Selection", but now means just the last opened file in the editor. Performing the search again from here just searches that single file. Expected behavior: The applied selection should remain the original one, so that the actual search scope is unchanged.
