When you chose the option “Do not use the Free R flag”, then you were telling Refmac not to use cross-validation and therefore to use all reflections as the working set.
My experience (doubtless very limited compared to the ARP/wARP developers) is that it’s significantly better to use the Rfree flag, which makes sense since you need cross-validation data in order for likelihood targets to be calibrated properly. But maybe the developers have some set of test cases that led them to choose the opposite as the default.
