--- Comment #13 from Rainer Bielefeld <ra...@bielefeldundbuss.de> ---
This is not an Enhancement request, but a bug report.
If a cells area is selected when user opens find dialog by <control+f> it can
be assumed that he wants to search only selection. So "Current Selection only"
should be checked automatically if user opens "Find & Replace" dialog while a
selection is active.
Steps how to reproduce Reproducible with "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / German
locale - [AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1516435 2013-08-24]" on German WIN7

1. Open Attachment 81339 for Bug 123047
2. Click cell F4
3. <control+f> to open 'Find & Replace' dialog
4. click <More Options>
5. If "Current Selection only" is checked, uncheck,
6. <Esc>
7. Select F4:H8 (using Mouse)
8. <control+f> to open 'Find & Replace' dialog
9. click <More Options>
Expected: "Current Selection only" checked
Actual: unchecked :-(
10. Check "Current Selection only"
11. Type "ii" into find pane, <find>
> Nothing found, because cell cursor is at end of range
12. Contiunue form beginning
> F4 will be found :-)
13. Click cell F4
14. Close 'Find & Replace' dialog with Close-X-Button
15. <control+f> to open 'Find & Replace' dialog
> Cell cursor at F4
> "Current Selection only" still is checked, what is rather useless,
nothing is selected, so nothing can be found :-(
Additional info
---------------
a) Competitors:
a1) LibreOffice 4 has such a "smart check function"
a2) SoftMaker FreeOffice: No such check box available, but search will be
for whole sheet if nothing is selected and for selected range if there
is a election
a3) I have difficulties to understand how it works, but it seems that
Calligra never respects selection
a4) Gnumeric 1.10.14
Always has "whole document" as default, here less annoying than in
AOO because that selection always is visible when you start and you
can click radiobutton "Range" (what shows current selection") immediately
b) it's very annoying that that option is not visible by default in AOO
c) If you never used something better (this never worked better in OOo)
you might consider this one as a minor fault, but for me it's one of the
reasons why I do not use AOO Calc for my daily work.
d) Calc behavior is inconsistent, Writer handles that correctly and checks
"Selection only" in a smart way if some text is selected when
'Find & Replace' becomes opened.
e) Summary was misleading, the root of the problem is the faulty search.

Perfect solution

c) If you never used something better (this never worked better in OOo)
you might consider this one as a minor fault, but for me it's one of the
reasons why I do not use AOO Calc for my daily work. And the number of votes
shows that this one is not "Trivial"
d) Calc behavior is inconsistent, Writer handles that correctly and checks
"Selection only" in a smart way if some text is selected when
'Find & Replace' becomes opened.
