Build id: I20051018-0932.

The scenario that I would like to see supported in find replace on selected
lines would be the following:
- select a few lines of code;
- bring up the Find/Replace dialog; (note: 'Selected Lines' is checked);
- type in a find query;
- type in a replace with text;
- hit Replace All; (occurrences of the Find string get changed, as expected);
- make a new selection without closing the Find/Replace box;
- hit Replace All again, and get the same change happen upon the new selection.

What happens else in the last step is that all occurrences of the find text get
changed into the whole file. This is because 'Selected Lines' gets unselected
when I change the selection. The workaround is quite simple: once I have changed
my selection, I should check 'Selected Lines' again. The only problem I have
with this is that I get caught up to three times a day ;-)
I understand that Ctrl-Zing immediately saves the situation. Yet, I believe it
would be slightly better to stick to the safest change here, limited to the
selected area as long as the 'Selected Lines' got checked and a valid selection
is available, or at least as long as only transient states separate times at
which a valid selection is available.
