After setting 'Regular Expressions' check box in Find/Replace dialog it's impossible to find next/previous text fragment in editor if selected fragment contains invalid RE expression (such as open bracket).

reopen to reassing.
Please provide more details.
1.-Create new project 2.-Create some class 3.-Create method main() in that class 4.-Write following lines in main: String s1 = "123("; String s2 = "123("; 5.-Press 'Ctrl-F' to invoke 'Find/Replace' dialog. (also can be invoked from menu 'Edit->Find/Replace' 6.-Set 'Regular Expressions' checkbox on. 7.-Close dialog. 8.-Select first occurrence of '123(' in editor 9.-Press 'Ctrl-K' to invoke 'Find Next' action. 10. -'String not found' will be printed in the status line if you repeat steps 5 through 10 but set 'Regular Expressions' checkbox off on step 6 then it will find next occurrence of '123(' text in editor. As I understand selected text is treated as regular expression with this option but It seems to me that It's very rare case when we want selected text to be treated as regular expression during search of text fragment.
