Workaround

Try using Selection Layers instead:- Right Click the Layer > Selection > Create layer from selected features. This will put a “selection layer” in the TOC. This is not stored on disk and can be deleted when not needed anymore. - Right click the selection layer > zoom to layer. This does the same thing as the 9.0 “zoom to selected features”. Yes, it is extra clicks and puts a layer in the TOC, but it does have one advantage over the 9.0 functionality – you can see the selected features.
