I vote for: improve the current behavior. Now if you select a cell range and
open the F&R dialog, the 'current selection only' option is activated
automatically. If you deselect the cell range, then the option will be
deactivated automatically. The problem is that the other way round (nothing
selected, F&R opened, then cell range selected) doesn't work automatically.
Also a subsequent selection of a cell range doesn't activate the 'current
selection only' option again. This must be enhanced.

I'm against removing the option because it doesn't harm in the use case what
was the reason for this bug report. LibreOffice boasts of its flexibility and
configurability. Removing this option would counteract that principles.
