            Bug ID: 163172
           Summary: Allow to dock formula bar to right or left hand side
                    or entirely extend it
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 24.2.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
Sometimes, a formula is very long. Or contents of the cell are. This results in
making other fields in the row invisible.

In these situations, it would be very convenient to have a set column height,
but the formula bar showing on the left/right-hand side, and in there, all
content, instead of scrolling through the content.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open document, then enter 10 rows of dummy data
2.Pick a cell and enter 70 rows of text at regular zoom level
3.Try to read data - either you will have autofit row height, which does not
let you read adjacent cells/can not read entire cell, because text becomes too
small, or you will not see adjacent cells that have less data.

Actual Results:
This makes you have to scroll through the formula bar, which is annoying.

Expected Results:
If I could have the formula bar on the right/left, I could, on select cell, see
that cell's content in full easily. The core idea is very similar to how
