Visual Studio & Resharper: Rename class only in current project and not entire solution

I have a solution with many projects in it.

Two projects both have a class with the same name. Lets call them project A and project B.

When i use resharper rename feature (Ctrl+R -> R) in project B and rename the class, then that new class name will be applied to project A as well.

Before refactoring:

Project A (ActorPool.h)

class ActorPool
{
  // ...
}

Project B (ActorPool.h)

class ActorPool
{
    //...
}

After refactoring (placing cursor on project B's ActorPool and ctrl+r -> r renaming ActorPool to ObjectPool)

Project A (ObjectPool.h)

class ObjectPool
{
  // ...
}

Project B (ObjectPool.h)

class ObjectPool
{
    //...
}

Expected result after refactoring:

Project A (ActorPool.h)

class ActorPool
{
  // ...
}

Project B (ObjectPool.h)

class ObjectPool
{
    //...
}

Here is the rename popup from resharper, i cant see any options to limit the scope of this refactor operation:

How do i apply a rename through resharper only for the current project (e.g. the project the file belongs to, in my example project B, that contains the class that i'm performing the refactor on)?
