--- Comment #2 from Christian Lehmann <christianw_lehmann at arcor.de> ---
Close to two years later, I checked with LO 6.2.4.2 whether anything has been
done about the above. It appears that, instead of implementing the enhancement
proposed, a deterioration has been implemented:

- Select (mark) a stretch of text, e.g. a paragraph, in a document.
- Call 'Find & Replace'.
- The entire string that you had marked appears inserted in the 'Find' field.
- The checkbox 'Current selection only' is unchecked.

I find this to be a step back. The user can always copy and paste a string of
text into the 'Find' field if he feels like it. However, he is not going to
search for an entire paragraph of text or even more. Thus, this new
functionality only obstructs my work.
