Case sensitive Find/Replace actions messed up by search history

[mira-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Michael Rauch)]

hi,

i'm developing EJB's and i have some beans which are quite similar, so i 
use an already existing .java file of a working bean (with xdoclet tags,
etc) and run a replace over it to get the beans name, classname etc right.
after that i go over the code and adjust the other things. this saves me a
lot of typing.

problem now is that when i want to build a bean called 'Competition' based
on the existing code of a bean called 'Event' i do a replace-all with
'Event' -> 'Competition' and select the case-sensitive checkbox.  after
that i do the same with 'event' -> 'competition' to get the lowercase
occurencies of the text replaced (for local variables etc.). when i type
'event' in the inputfield (exactly when i type the last character 't') it
finds the text 'Event' in the search history and replaces my 'event' with
'Event', which is no good for case-sensitive replace manouvres.

how can i force the search/replace dialog to not use the choice it found
in the history (dropdown list at the right) but use exactly what i typed
as input? i couldn't find an option to switch that _support_ of, but maybe
i was too impatient with searching. to me it looks like a bug, but i
couldn't find anything in the bug database, so it's maybe a feature? .. or
people are just not as lazy as i am and don't do replaces that much.
