Bug Description
In PCBnew, when you choose "Edit" -> "Change Footprints" the opening dialogue has no option selected. In case you miss to select one and enter a new footprint all footprints will be exchanged.
My suggestion would be that a) one of the three options is preselected or b) the exchange button is greyed out until a selection is made.
Side note. I found this dialogue the only one that updates footprints in case you choose the same footprint for selector and replacement. Other dialogues like the one you reach through the footprint properties will not do that. If the current footprint and the footprint you selected as new have the same name nothing will happen.

@No Name, you no longer need to use this dialog for updating footnotes (without changing them). Use Tools > Update Footprints from Library... for that.
