Why does 'show usages' only look in Project Files? Follow
Well, same as the title I guess:
Why does 'show usages' only look in Project Files?
I'm trying to debug a library, and when doing a 'show usages', I expect IntelliJ to show me the usages. Instead, IntelliJ sais: no usages found, which is nonsense, the method is called a few lines about this position. When I do a 'find usages', it does work however.
UPDATE
Now I'm getting a bit confused here: when I first did a 'show usages', IntelliJ didn't find anything. Than I did a 'find usages', and I got a result screen with the found occurances, and then I did a 'show usages', and now it is found. I know it's late, it's weekend, etc, but am I getting crazy here?

Show usages might use remembered scope of last find usages

Hi Erik,
"Quick Find Usages" (Ctrl-Alt-F7) uses the (most recent?) "Find Usages" (Alt-F7) settings.
If you think that's inconvenient and/or confusing, you're not the only one.
Take a look at:

"Might use" ? What do you mean by that? And what do you mean with 'scope' ? I've seen a dialog somewhere (IntelliJ 7?) which says: Search in Project / Search in Project & Libraries, but when I look at the find dialog (see attached screenshot), I don't see anything which looks like a scope...

thanks for the question (Erik) and the response (Taras). I have come across this inadvertently a few times and did not understand what was going on.
I voted for the issue. This is really annoying. I like your suggestions in the issue, but actually, I don't care much which solution is taken, as long as it's obvious what's happening.
