I changed it a little bit to match Delphi's behavior. The reason is described

Strange.

Yes, I remember that I changed the behavior so that scope is "selection" and
origin "from the beginning" if there is a selection in the editor.
So exactly what you want to achieve.
But the dialog's behaviour has always been 'as in delphi' (or at least as long as I remember) so I don't understand what you changed or why you thought it was necessary ?

Hmmm, for me it works exactly what you want to have (I changed to this
desired behavior).
Well. You definitely broke it, from my point of view. It used to work correct :)
Can you be more specific about what you are doing and what the IDE does?
- Select 5 lines. (it could be 10) (shift-down, 5 times)
- Press ctrl-q a (classic shortcut for search & replace.)
- Dialog opens.
Scope: global
Origin: from cursor.
Just tested (again).
Tried again, but select five lines with shift-up.
So the cursor is at the start of the selection.
Same result.
I undid your revision, and then it works correct:
Dialog opens,
scope: selected text,
origin: from cursor.
