--- Comment #6 from Jeff Fortin Tam <[email protected]> ---
I was about to file the same bug, particularly for multiline editing.

When you click the arrow on the right of the formula bar in Calc, you can
create a nicely-formatted multi-line formula to facilitate reading and
troubleshooting the formula.

However, if you use a formula like this (with linebreaks done with
Shift+Enter):

= SUM($'Summary invoicing pivot table part 1'.D25:M25)
- SUM($'Summary invoicing pivot table part 2'.D32:N32)
+ SUM($'Summary invoicing pivot table part 3'.D25:G25) * A12

…it becomes apparent (as you will be able to see in screenshot I will attach)
that LibreOffice uses a variable-width system font to display the contents of
the multiline input field, as the words and characters don't line up at the
beginning of the lines etc.

For such usecases, it would be better if LibreOffice Calc used the system's
default monospaced font for the formula input field, especially when it is set
to multiline mode.

I don't think an option would be necessary for this, it should just do that by
default automatically, it's somewhat expected for a formula input textfield.

------------

I've observed this issue in:

Version: 25.8.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 290daaa01b999472f0c7a3890eb6a550fd74c6df
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US

…and:

Version: 26.2.0.3 (X86_64)
Build ID: afbbd0df0edb6d40b450b0337ac646b0913a760c
