Example of formula editing box covering a cell involved in the formula

Hi.


When editing a formula that involves cells nearby the cell the formula is located at, it is possible that the editing box covers some of those cells involved in the formula making it kind of difficult to analyze that formula.

Of course in this case the formula is very simple and it is not hard at all to follow it, but when formulas get more complex and several cells nearby result covered during the editing process, it could become harder to analyze and follow the whole thing..

As the same thing happens in Ms Office, it would be a remarkable improvement for LibreOffice Calc to keep that from happening by allowing somehow the user could move a floating editing box, such that it is possible to see the hidden cells involved in the formula (See the attached image as a reference).

Thanks for your valuable support..

Regards.
Juan
