Thanks Uwe, Your suggestion seems to work really great! I did however do some searches around Known IDE Packages and came across the excellent tool "Known IDE Package Manager" by @dummzeuch That tool is what I used to fix this issue, and it also helped me find some other packages that seem pointless to me which I also disabled. Delphi feels a lot quicker to work in now, especially how fast the search window opens up (and no longer crashes!)

Thanks Mathew, I have voted for that defect. After some testing, your suggested workaround also seems to work. However, I strongly prefer to work with keyboard shortcuts. Therefore, I will try to see if Uwe's suggestion works since I have no need for (or rather don't trust) the built-in refactoring at all.

I have exactly the same issue (Delphi 11.1 on Win11). I have tried uninstalling all of my plugins, but that seems to have no effect on the problem. Restarting Delphi or the computer also has no effect. It seems almost calendar-related, because it can work absolutely fine for weeks, and then it abruptly stops working and will give a crash with 100% certainty every time if I have any text selected when pressing Ctrl+Shift+F. Once it has stopped working, it will remain non-functional for weeks until it suddenly starts working again. The search functionality always works fine, as long as no text is selected in the editor. Has anyone reported this issue to Embarcadero yet, or should I report it?
