bug: autocomplete on multiple async code cells

[jimniels]

Describe the bug

I have a file where I manually go in and update every few days by dragging down a code cell. It re-runs some API calls which takes a second. I noticed that now when I drag down, it actually outputs the contents of the original cell I dragged (whereas previously, i think, it used to be an empty cell until the operation completed).

If you drag down a formula, the calculation is so fast it looks instant.

But if you do an async task, you can see how it just put "1" as the value (not even an indication that it's a code cell until after it ran.

Example sheet you can see this happen in:

Expected behavior

I feel like this has changed over time? I feel like i can remember two different ways this was handled

1. when i drag down, i get a spinner on every cell and it processes them one at a time
2. when i drag down, i get a spinner on the top one and every subsequent one is represented visually as a blank code cell (blank w/outline) and then it processes them individually

Honestly, i could see either of those, but the current functionality seems odd
