As long as you keep typing you don't need to delete anything, unless your new 
string is a subset of a previous string. That is possibly a corner case.
Can you post the Bugzilla link?

That is not correct. Just tested with Excel 2016. It is exactly the same. 
I can't replicate the problem with numbers (at least under Windows 7 x64). Can 
you post the Bugzilla link?

That is a separate issue related to Autocorrect. Autoinput only replicates 
previous strings

That sounds like a useful solution. Does anyone have the knowledge and time to 
code that?

As I mentioned before this is also the default behaviour in the other 
spreadsheets. Turning off the default (to solve 2 possible smaller issues) will 
make more users unhappy.
