Bug 8611 NPE in text search with Compare to a Version editor open
Reported: 2002-01-28 13:34:55 | Status: resolved fixed

Build: 20020125 Description: Doing a text search on "Selected Resource" causes a NullPointerException if the active editor is a comparison editor. Steps: 1. Right click on a java file in the Packages view and choose Compare With > Version... from the context menu. 2. Once the comparison editor opens, click on a version to make the comparison. 3. Choose Edit > Search... 4. In the dialog that opens, Text search should be the default tab. If not, choose it. 5. Enter some text in the search field and choose "Selected Resources" in the Scope frame. 6. Click on the Search button. 7. Here you get an error.
