Description:
Hi. I hope this is a good place to post this.

I would like to ask you if it's possible to make the colored rectangles in Calc appear in realtime as the user inputs a formula. The current state is that the cells are color highlighted only after the formula is finished and user double clicks on the cell with the formula again.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Calc
2. Put some values in the cells e.g. 3 in A1, 5 in A2 and 7 in A3
3. in a separate cell input a formula taking the previous cells as arguments e.g. =AVERAGE(A1:A3)
4. Double click the separate cell created in step 3. The cells taken as arguments will be color highlighted. ----> If possible at this step for the cells to be colored in real time as the formula is being entered in step 3 ?

Thank you!

Actual Results:
Cell is colored only after formula is finished and user double clicks on the formula cell again

Expected Results:
I would like to see the argument cells color highlighted in real time.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Hello,

Thank you for reporting the bug. Please attach a sample document, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. 
Indeed, there is no repro on my computer, the cell is just circled in blue when selected, and like the other cells when not selected. These are not colored rectangles.
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' once the requested document is provided.

(Please note that the attachment will be public, remove any sensitive information before attaching it. See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/FAQ#How_can_I_eliminate_confidential_data_from_a_sample_document.3F for help on how to do so.)
