Visual Studio: "Current Document" option missing from Quick Replace dialog

This picture says it all. Anyone know what's wrong? Haven't done anything other than restart VS at this point.

I don't believe that this is to do with whether Visual Studio running or not... it 'may' also happen when it is running, but VS2010 regularly loses the Current Document option.

I usually bring it back by following the process below:

  1. First search for a word using another option, eg. Current Project, or Entire Solution.
  2. After VS2010 finds a match (usually in another file), I then return to the original file in the designer and the Current Document option has 'usually' returned.

In step 2, it appears to be important that VS2010 finds a match before the Current Document option returns. Usually, the option will re-appear in the other file (where it found a match) and you can set it there or when you return back to your original file.

I hope that helps.

If your code is actually running and the current document is part of the running code, you cannot modify it : the search and replace won't allow a replace on the current document.
