Description Will 2022-03-27 22:40:00 UTC
Description:
Enhancement request.  
I frequently add and subtract many non consecutive cells in Calc and frequently edit this list.  When I click in the input line to make changes, the current cells are highlighted but at my first edit of this, the highlights disappear.  I no longer know which cells are included in the action and I can miss some new entries or duplicate already existing ones.  I wish the selected cells would remain highlighted.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.have a sumation of non consecutive cells
2.click in input line and cells of focus highlight
3.add plus sign to add another cell/s
4.highlights disappear

Actual Results:
as in "steps to reproduce"

Expected Results:
cells remain highlighted as I add to it


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
ver 7.2.5.2 (x64)
Win10, 19044

This has existed in prior versions.

Reproduced in:

Version: 7.6.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: f5defcebd022c5bc36bbb79be232cb6926d8f674
CPU threads: 6; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 22621; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Also reproduced in 3.3.

I'm wondering if this is related to Bug 81913 since adding more cells to a formula also moves the cursor.
