Description Daniel Ceregatti CLA 2010-09-24 16:14:17 EDT
Build Identifier: I20100608-0911

I use Linux with "focus follows mouse" and a detached navigator view. When I select a directory in the navigator view, then traverse the mouse back to the main eclipse window to select the Search->File menu option, the subsequent dialog's "selected resource" option is unavailable, presumably because the main eclipse window gained focus. If I maintain focus on the navigator window after having selected the directory I want to search, then use the control-h keyboard combination, the "selected resource" option is available.

As I'm already using the mouse to navigate the directories in the navigator view, it would be much more convenient for me if a context option existed in the navigator view called "Search selected resource" which would spawn the search dialog with the "selected resource" option already checked.

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always
