--- Comment #13 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

The option depends on whether a selection has been made or just one cell is
selected, and automatically set on or off. Excel always applies F&R to the
selection or all cells, meaning our option is rather to ignore the selection.
Another difference is that we select the cells with replaced content, which is
very convenient in most cases. But fails for iterative operations.

The suggestion is to select the replaced cells only if no selection was made
before; i.e. to keep it. And ideally to introduce a different kind of feedback,
eg. per accent color.
And consequently to remove the option to disable it.

Essentially a duplicate of bug 132031.
