Re: Principle of least surprise

Hi!

Well - I tend to agree that having the hyperlinks malfunctional is not 
nice. *Possibly* the idea behind showing "hand" cursor over such URLs 
even without holding CTRL required for their activation could be to 
allow user an easy way to identify the links... but even then, showing 
cursor does not necessarily imply that clicking should give both no 
following the hyperlink, and no cell selection.

Heh, it looks like placing all controls for what changes input in one 
"AutoCorrect" dialog is indeed just another broken UI. We need better 
put it in many different places all over the application instead.
