Short description of error
While translating texts for 'Object Scatter' add on, I ran a test on the add-on and found the following problems:

1. Unable to get a reasonable value for 'Seed'
2. The appearance of the original object in the scattering field
3. Needed a button to execute the scattering, rather than using F3 for search

I recorded the test session in the following video:

and you can load this test file I used to test:

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

• Enable the 'Scatter Objects' add-on.
• Load the attached test file.
• Left click mouse to select the stone object on the side of the plane (distorted cube), then
• Hold down the Shift key,
• Select the plane using left mouse click.
• Press F3 to search, type 'scatter',
• Press Enter to execute 'Object Scatter'
• Left click and hold the mouse to draw lines on the plane to generate objects on the side of the drawn lines.
• Press Enter to confirm the scatterings generated and to terminate the routine.
• Notice the 'Object' (Cube) used to scatter in the centre of the plane. If you select this and press 'Delete', you will remove the entire scattering objects just generated.
• Now try to change the 'Seed' by mouse (not by keyboard) and you'll see how difficult it is to change the value.
