YES! When you select something, what you type should "replace" the text and
retain the format. That's how users understand computers:

1. select something to the computer what you want to apply a command to

2. apply the command - it changes the selection

But the way Calc is coded, when you apply the command, it goes to an unselected
part of the document and changes that!!!! 
How can that possibly not be a bug? How can you trust and become intuitive
about a program that keeps changing things you didn't ask it to change?

I admit that I do not know how to write a line of code, but I was a full-time
professional software tester for 15 years and the bugginess this behavior is
supported by every instinct I learned during that time, in addition to the
thousands of hours I've spent as a user of this type of program.
