Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

I have a dual monitor setup. Eclipse is on one monitor, but package explorer on the second monitor. I select the src folder of a project, then Search->File
() Selected resources and () enclosing projects is greyed out
I only can search in the whole workspace.
Then I move package explorer to the monitor containing Eclipse's menu. Now the steps above work as expected, I can search in the selected resources only.

See also Bug 309695.

Reproducible: Always

Use Ctrl+H as a workaround instead of using the 'Search' menu.
