In Visual Studio 2012RC, I am trying to bring back QuickFind, which was correctly working up to the moment I unfortunately decided to use the Find in Files functionality.

Now pressing CTRL+F or CTR+shift+F will, in both cases, bring up the Find and Replace [Find In Files, Replace In Files] window.
I temporary managed to add the “Switch to Quick Find” toolbar icon, which worked once.
But now even that does not work.

I have tried to remove the keyboard shortcut to Find in Files and QuickFind and reassign the one to QuickFind, but it does not help.

Same if I use QuickLaunch: regardless I select QuickFind or Find In Files, I always get Find In Files.

Any idea apart re-installing the whole application?

EDIT

This seem to happen only for a specific file. If I bring up a different file in the editor, Ctrl+F will bring up QuickFind. It looks like it is storing somewhere the search method and that is overriding the QuickFind. Very confusing. Any ideas how I can fix this?

    Understood what is the issue.
    Ctrl+F will not bring up QuickFind when the document window is in split mode.

    Must be a bug of VS2012.
