Description jay_schmidgall CLA 2004-06-17 11:30:38 EDT 
In the java editor, I selected a few lines to change a word contained within a
string. I hit Ctrl-F to bring up the Find/Replace dialog. This came up with the
scope set to Selected Lines, as expected. I entered the word in the Find field,
and the value to change it to in the Replace With field. I then hit Replace All.
Every occurrence of the word from the selected text to the end of the file was
replaced.

I had expected that only the occurrences within the selected text would be replaced.

This is with Eclipse 3.0 M9.
