This is one of the most counterproductive "features" in LO. I was so
dumbfounded to see this discussion linger for 4+ years that I registered on
this website *just* to subscribe to this bug.

As of 7.5.4.1, I can't even *see* that my text was autocompleted, because the
right edge of the search bar is at the end of the *pasted* text.

I pasted "Detection and classification of rail track flaws", yet on the
screenshot the search field actually contains "Detection and classification of
rail track flaws using inertial and magnetometric sensors". The only way to
know  that is to scroll the field to the right, with either the mouse or arrow
keys.

By the time I figured out why Calc can't find the *exact* string I pasted
despite me staring at it, I thought I was losing my mind and almost broke my
keyboard tapping Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V over and over again.
(Also, note the tiny size of the search field right next to the massive wasted
space to the right).

So, as of now, you are basically suggesting me to always tap Delete after 
pasting anything into the search field.

This is a pretty serious claim; do you have statistical data to back it?
