Confirmed that Geany ignores settings from the find dialog when doing a find selection. Its not documented that it does or does not, so its not a bug as such, but it would seem that if it ignores settings it should search for exactly the selection rather than a case insensitive version. Although since `find next selection` behaviour is already controlled by `various` preference another controlling case match would probably also be ok.
Skipping comments could be made another option on the find dialog.
