How to use "Replace in selection" in Pycharm

I am trying to understand how to reliably / consistently use the Replace in Selection in Intellij.

The surprise is that the entire selected text is automatically thrown into the to-be-replaced entry field in the dialog:

My task is not that: it is to replace the single quotes inside that selected area with double quotes. What are the correct step to do that?

I do know I have been able to do this in the past: but uncertain of what were done differently. I believe Intellij-Idea exhibits same behavior. I am using 2019.2.X Ultimate for both products.

Oh I found it. It's a UI change in latest release. Pycharm app has changed from having a 

Replace in Selection

checkbox - which worked great for me - to having an inscrutable tiny icon in the dialog:

By the way for keyboarders you can select this by hitting CMD-R again. At least they did preserve a way to do it by keyboarding.
