When can you drag a sequence in Excel and when not?

Yesterday, I needed to make a list of multiples of 68, so I wrote the formulae =1*68, =2*68 and =3*68 and I dragged down. To my surprise, Excel just repeated =1*68, =2*68 and =3*68.

However, if I calculated those number myself (68, 136, 204) and start dragging down, the sequence gets continued (272, 304, 408).

Is there a rule for this? Is this a (known) bug and (when) can we expect a correction? ...? I'm working with Excel-365.

For your information, hereby a screenshot:

P.s. the question reviewer mentions this to be subjective, but there is nothing subjective about this easily reproducible issue.
