Well, maybe this is not the best approach to discuss things. I also had
people who provide support and training to end users. We could continue
this for a very long time.

I agree. But I don't think, it is a good solution to just remove an
option because "some users" are confused and some other users did never
complain about it . But among those who did never complain are users who
use the option you want to remove. The simple outcome would be, that
then you have confused users who request the old option back etc.

So - in case you remove the per-application option, how would you
migrate old settings? Just drop them? Migrate them to per-sheet options?
I'd somehow prefere a larger rework of the grid options so that users
are *aware* that something changed and can deal with it.
