When we increase a cell's text length, through typing, when text wrapping on - the text may wrap to another line, and also - the row height will change so as to accommodate that new line of text (if it didn't already). However, if that change happens through a Find-Replace action - the row height will not expand. To reproduce: 1. Create a new workbook. 2. Select cell A1 (or any cell). 3. Type in the text "abc" and press Enter 4. Mark the cell as wrapping 5. On the menus, choose Edit > Find and Replace... 6. Replace, globally, the string "abc" with "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" Expected result: Row A height is now much higher, to accommodate multiple lines of text Actual result: Row A height is still enough for just one line of text, and the cell text overflows.

I think a dup of tdf#168083.
(In reply to m_a_riosv from comment #2) > I think a dup of tdf#168083. That is a very important bug, but - different issue than here. That bug is about the difference in behavior in constraction vs. extension - extension expands the cell, deletion doesn't, intentionally. This one is about consistency in expanding the cell when extending its text.
