Description jan d 2020-09-07 17:18:18 UTC
Description:
The function wizard offers a main view on the function, a small view of the formula and two tabs, a selector for functions and a structure tab. The structure tab provides a function tree rendering of the formula. 

Problem: It is hard to find out which parts of the written function correspond to the tree rendering. 

Possible solution: Highlight corresponding functions on interaction. This already exists for the formula and the function view: You click in the text of the formula, the nearest function/operator is selected and the function view updates. This could be reflected in the "structure"-tree.

Steps to Reproduce:
Click in a cell with a (complex) formula and open the function wizard. 
Click in the text of the formula. 

Actual Results:
The 'nearest' function/operator is selected and the function view updates.
There is no change in the tree rendering in the "structure" tab.

Expected Results:
Matching the highlighted operator/formula, the corresponding operator/function in the structure-tree should be highlighted. If a operator/function in the structure-tree is selected, the corresponding part in the formula and function view should be shown.


Reproducible: Always

would be not bad. Any other opinions?

Sure, highlighting the corresponding items makes sense.
