Search Problem (Fields to look in box)

Hi everyone.
I cannot select the fields I want to search. All the fields are character and I type text in the "text to find" box!
Thanks,

Here are some possible solutions to your problem:

  1. Ensure that both IDEA and the Search dialog open on the primary display monitor, when multiple monitors are used. I suspect that laptops with docs and external monitors are the most likely configurations to cause this problem
  2. Run the properties of the IDEA Exe, go to Compatibility >> Change high DPI settings >> Override high DPI scaling behavior AND set Scaling performed by: to "System" 
  3. By clicking in the window and pressing SPACEBAR to check the box

I remember having that problem and I think step 2 fixed it.

Thanks Brian,
You are right, when I use my primary monitor this problem would be solved!

Sorry Brian, when I do this solution, can I check the boxes on the other monitors? Honestly, I did not get step 3!

If you try solution 2 it might work with other monitors.
