--- Comment #2 from Jean-François Fortin Tam <[email protected]> ---
+1 to this, and I would also like to add some information that may be helpful
for implementation: LibreOffice Calc already has parenthesis matching and
highlighting code, just not in the formular bar. If you edit a cell's formula
by pressing F2, it allows editing the formula "in place" and, somehow, that
in-situ formula editor _does_ have "matching parenthesis highlighting".

So I would recommend two things for someone willing to tackle this problem:

1. Reuse/port that code from the F2 editor into the main formula bar widget.

2. For better visual clarity for users, make it do some real highlighting
(i.e.: a colored yellow background behind the matching parentheses) instead of
just making the characters bold (the bold type is really not visible enough for
me)
