            Bug ID: 143500
           Summary: Calc EDITING - Add option to keep the original
                    selection after "Find and Replace / Replace All"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: nickwain at hotmail.com

Description:
I have a column of cells that contain various text. I want to do a number of
'Replace all' commands on the whole column - e.g. replace "&" with "and", then
replace " " with "", etc.. When I do the first 'Replace All' the selection is
changed from the whole column to just the cells where the first text was
replaced. I then have to re-select the whole column again. It would be good to
have an option to keep the original selection. Instead of doing "Find All" then
"Replace All", this option would work as if the user was pressing 'Replace'
until there was no text left to replace - doing this leaves the selection the
same.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a column of cells with various text and select the column
2. do a 'Replace all' of text that only affects so cells


Actual Results:
Only the cells with replaced cells are now selected

Expected Results:
the whole column originally selected should remain selected.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
With the new option, the whole column originally selected would remain
selected.
