--- Comment #9 from ady <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Robert Lacroix from comment #8) > When the user clicks into the formula bar to edit the formula, > shrink/confine the in-cell edit viewport to just the cell's normal area. > This allows the surrounding cells to be seen. This doesn't happen right now. That "alternative" implies that the colors used for references are probably not seen (because in Calc, the colored references are seen on the cell, but not on the formula bar input window). There is already a known workaround. While editing the content of the cell, you can temporarily change the cell's alignment. For example, if you need to see the adjacent cells that are located to the right of the cell that is being edited, you can align the active cell to the right (yes, while still editing the active cell, press [CTRL]+[R]), complete whichever edition that you want, and then restore the alignment of the active cell as it was (e.g. press [CTRL]+[R] again), and finally accept the edition. You can even change the alignment multiple times, to different settings, and when all is done, only then accept the edition. There is simply no end to the original problem, as there is always something that will be negatively impacted, so the wise thing to do is to be flexible and for the user to adapt each time to each case, context, circumstance. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
