--- Comment #3 from ady <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > Agreed, it is desirable to have the value highlighting JIC, from the POV of users and UX, the issue is not related to menu View > Value Highlighting, which is about coloring different types (Text, Number...) of values. This report is about marking / coloring (ranges of) _references_ in formulas, not only while in cell edit mode but also while actually modifying the formula. This is slightly tricky when you are changing references (e.g. delete the column part of a reference, until you add a new different column). The request means that Calc needs to constantly "monitor" (during the time the formula is being actually modified) whether some part of the formula would be parsed as a reference, or even as a range of cells that still makes sense in the context of the particular formula). Note that while dragging the markers of the references, the coloring is kept during the "edition". The coloring / marking is lost when the edition of the formula is performed in the input window itself, and that's the case that this report requests to improve. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
