Hm, I'm not sure I agree with the gnumeric developers, but they do have a point. I guess both behaviours are reasonable. No point in discussing this further. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#451641: Edit/Replace should default to Range if selection exists
Package: gnumeric Version: 1.6.3-6 If I mark/select some cells in gnumeric, then invoke Edit/Replace..., then in the dialog gnumeric helpfully (and correctly) fills the field Range (under Scope) with the range of cells which I selected. However, under Scope, the option Range is not marked, but the default Entire Workbook. So just clicking OK will _not_ limit the Search/Replace to the selected cells. If I select something and then invoke a function, my general expectation is that the function should only act on what I selected, if applicable. That is how Copy, Cut, Paste, Fill, Clear, Delete in the Edit menu work. Therefore, if Edit/Replace... is invoked with an active selection, the dialog should default to Scope=Range, not Scope=Entire Workbook, since that is probably what the user intended by selecting some cells. If nothing is selected, the currend default of Scope=Entire Workbook seems reasonable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
