options that are ineffective due to some other option
should be visually represented as such (put into the
implicit state and greyed out).
a good example are "only in-/outside comments" in the
search dialog. they should be a radio group in the first
place (all/in/out), but at least the other checkbox should
be deactivated if one is checked.
this is cosmetics for somebody who already knows how it
works, but for a new user, this is usability.

    I agree but:

    1) That's quite complex.
    2) Giving examples isn't enough.

    I'll try to fix this particular issue, but you should report
    every case you find.

    I agree that's "usability" but I don't think that's wrong
    behavior.
    That's why I'm moving it to "Feature Requests"
