Bit puzzeled about the replace dialog currently. When hitting the
"Replace All" button in the replace dialog it jumps to the last
occurence replaced. Usually takes me lots of scrolling to get
back to where I started ...no idea why the last occurence
replaced is of any special interest.

   People like to see that a command has had the expected effect and
the current behaviour shows an example of the changed text. While its
fairly arbitrary to show the last replacement it does reassure that
the file has been processed.

That is what "the noise" is usually taken for. Maybe most people have a few lines of code they'd like to replace something in. But as as soon as there are a few hundred ringing a bell is a much easier on your eyes than getting jumped to an arbitrary location.


And when I am at it, a decent hint on the number of occurences replaced
would be quite helpful.

   I find it useless noise myself but its implemented on Windows.

Don't get you - why useless? 9 replaced out of 9 expected. Well done ...no typo.
