            Bug ID: 132484
           Summary: Find and replace in Libreoffice CALC keeps applying to
                    the string it has already replaced.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: rzamparelli at gmail.com

Description:
Open a sheet in CALC and type anything in a cell. Say you typed "A". Copy the
same content to the cells below. Now open [Find and Replace] from menu [Edit].
Replace "A" with "BAC". Click [Replace]. "A" in the first cell is replaced with
"BAC". Click [Replace] again, the "BAC" in the first cell is replaced with
"BBACC". Keep clicking [Replace] and only material the first cell will be
replaced. The replacements in the following cell will never take place. 

This is not a behavior found in any other [F&R] function I know, which normally
move the search focus past the string just replaced. It is also not the
behavior of [F&R] in Libreoffice Writer. 

Note that if one clicks [Replace all] "BAC" is correctly replaced in all cells. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert content "A" in 2 cells in a column.
2. Find and replace "A" with "BAC"
3. Click "Replace" twice

Actual Results:
BBACC
A

Expected Results:
BAC
BAC


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
See the description.
