Created attachment 127135 [details] Screenshot before and after resize resizing formula wizard only resize the formula field, not the structure and parameter fields width, that's imply that most of the times structure formulas and values are only partially visible, forcing the use of the slider to view them, similar with parameters fields.

The comment one above me is invalid, I falsely linked this bug in the commit-message, instead of the correct one (which would have been https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106967). Sorry for the confusion!

Created attachment 154343 [details] Example narrow structure panel
The function wizard is a good tool for editing long, nested and complex formulas, but the navigation is cumbersome due to a fixed size structure panel. Complex formulations are a requirement for keeping some spreadsheets set of data compact (a lot fewer helper columns/rows), but are very hard to read and edit by the same person given a period of time, or a different person who has to work on the same set of data. Several options come to mind to improve the usability of said tool: 1) the panel should have an adjustable width; 2) the layout of the structure could be different (horizontal panel, instead of vertical) 3) clicking the panel could provide a text editor like capability of editing the formulas directly, as in the formula bar, but with the structured layout; 4) The formula bar drop down could implement both styles/views (continuous and structured). Said functionality/ies would vastly improve productivity with formula based spreadsheets to the point of replacing simple macros and externally created software tools like console applications.
Seems partially solved with 6.3. Partially because now the structure change their wide with the window's wide. But in my opinion their proportion on the change should be less than the formula box. The change doesn't involve the functions fields, what in my opinion should change in the same proportion than formula box.
In any case thanks for the improve, it's an step.

I suggest to add a splitter between the left part (Functions/Structure) and the right part with all parameters. And to fill the space for the (dynamically created) input controls. Might be a somewhat tricky easyhack.
Looks fine, good idea. Thanks, @Heiko.
