Created attachment 158086 [details] screenshot
Cannot follow your request, probably you enter the ranges in the input rather than selecting first in the sheet. Can you explain your workflow a bit more please?
Created attachment 160651 [details] Excel-equivalent I have that range already configured. At the time of the screenshot, I am trying to edit/visualize it. I am attaching the Excel-equivalent view.

The typical workflow is to mark cells in the sheet first and do operations then. The opposite is when you start a function without selection, for example Insert > Function. And when entering a formula like =sum(a1:a3) the respective range is marked automatically, as you suggest. So I don't see what we can improve.
When that window is open, always highlight selection matchers, whenever said matcher is valid.

(In reply to stdedos from comment #8) > * Apply conditional formating It's the first time you mention "conditional formatting". So I don't select a range in the sheet but in the dialog, press tab, and voila- the range is shown. Using Format > Conditional > Manage... > Edit takes the range into the respective field. But Format > Conditional > Condition... > Yes (edit the range) doesn't. That's a bug, thanks for your patience.

I am under the impression that the Attachments are opened as part of investigating what that issue is about, and before responding - unless someone is familiar. I am used to working with Jira, so image attachments are always visible in the comment stream. Finally, I haven't used other aspects of region-selection (e.g. formulas) in a while, so I could not know that _that_ would make a difference
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #9) > Using Format > Conditional > Manage... > Edit takes the range into the > respective field. But still won't visualize it when the Cell Range is opened for editing. I think, in general, that "Cell Range" in Conditional Formatting is a different "Cell Range" from your other ranges (the ones you claim working). Might be worth to go around all of them too
