In version 7.4 and 8.0rc the 'Find Usages' dialog choice for 'custom scope' offered a list of all modules in the parent/master project. In v8.0 it shows only the open modules.

I don't think this is a bug after all. It seems that the default behavior for "custom scope" project pick list in the "find usages" dialog is to show the open projects. I had the mistaken impression that it showed a larger list of modules. peter
