I don't thank that's true. IIANM, it is never selected by default.

Indeed.

Agreed. Unless someone makes a strong argument in favor of clearing "current
selection only" on selection change - I support keeping it checked until the
dialog is dismissed or the user unchecks it.

Also - this isn't specific to Writer. This behavior can be seen in most other
modules.
