Just in case it is not clear for other readers, the description refers to the
values calculated and displayed on the status bar.
It is true that as soon as the selection includes a cell with an error, the
calculation is not displayed (for the rest of the cells, ignoring the error). I
believe this is expected.
On its own, the error message shown on the status bar when the relevant (error)
cell is on focus is an expected behavior. So, when you deselect the cell that
contains the error, the focus is still on the same cell and thus the error
messaged on the status bar is still shown.
After deselecting the cell that contains the error, you could select some other
cell within the relevant range, twice: once deselects the cell (that contains a
valid value) and the second time selects it again. The status bar then
identifies that the focus is on a cell that contains no error, and thus the
calculations are displayed as intended, not an error message.
Considering that displaying error messages (depending on the focus) is a key
feature, I'm not sure there is a way to improve the behavior of the status bar
with calculations without reducing the important warnings / info about errors.
At any rate, I would consider this a potential enhancement request, not really
a bug.
