How calc should look when in the process of creating or editing a formula
Calc’s UI for highlighting cells of existing formulas is brilliant. But when
you are in the process of creating or editing a formula, the colored highlights
don’t show to help you.
For example, if you type =SUM(A1+A2+A3) in Cell B3, no cells are highlighted
and the formula has no matching color. To see the colors and corresponding
cells, you need to finish the formula and double click on the cell. Any attempt
to edit the formula will cause the colors and highlights to disappear.
If we could make the colors persist and update to match the new formula, it
would be much easier to debug and create new formulas. For an inspiration as to
how this could work, try most other spreadsheets like WPS Sheets or Gnumeric.
Notice how the colors in the formula and corresponding cell highlights update
as you create or edit formulas.
