### Apache NetBeans version Apache NetBeans 20 release candidate ### What happened When refactoring a class property a lot of incorrect usages are picked up.  It looks for any untyped occurrence of `->propertyName`. Maybe it made sense before typing and namespaces existed in PHP but now it's just a problem, especially if you're renaming something generic like `value`. I think that searching for untyped potential matches needs to be optional. Either unchecked by default or entirely disabled in preferences. Searching in vendor packages also doesn't make sense in my opinion. ### How to reproduce Open a class file and try to rename a property by Refactor > Rename (`Ctrl+R`). ### Did this work correctly in an earlier version? No / Don't know ### Operating System Windows 11 ### JDK 21.0.1 ### Apache NetBeans packaging Apache NetBeans binary zip ### Anything else At first I was very confused and thought that it's simply broken. Upon further investigation I discovered what was really going on. I find this kind of behavior unintended, that's why I filed it as a bug, feel free to change it to feature if you think otherwise. Since this window has a lot of empty space I propose to add a checkbox for it.  Also the preview only appears after opening a file dropdown and selecting a specific occurrence. Can we please make it so that the file preview loads when you select a file (and jumps to first occurrence)? The message is confusing and made me think that the previews are broken, took me a while to figure out you had to go deeper.  ### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
