--- Comment #4 from rik <[email protected]> ---
I concur that this is a very painful 'feature'.  

When am I trying to 'Replace All' with the 'Current selection only' option, the
'Search Results' dialog box appears.  Not only does this display a dialog box
that obscures the spreadsheet which I have to move (as closing it just reopens
it after the next 'Replace All' function), it unselects the previously selected
columns forcing me to constantly reselect them before every 'Replace All' call.

In this particular case I have about 60 'Replace All' operations to run against
two of seven columns in this spreadsheet.  This bug means that I am forced to:

Select the two columns
Enter the Search and Replace strings
Check the 'Entire cells' and 'Current selection only' check boxes
'Replace All'
Move the useless 'Search Results' dialog box
Update Search and Replace strings
_RESELECT_THE_TWO_COLUMNS_
'Replace All'
Update Search and Replace strings
_RESELECT_THE_TWO_COLUMNS_
'Replace All'
etc.

Previously all I needed to do was update the Search and Replace strings and
keep pressing 'Replace All'.

Perhaps this is an inadvertent result of fixing this:
  Bug 79011 - EDITING: find all/replace all, results window does not open 

A simple check box option in the "Find & Replace" dialog box to show 'Search
Results' with the default option set under the Preferences should take care if
this issue.
