Description DErik 2023-09-07 16:46:33 UTC
Description:
When you click on a cell to edit it, the references to other cells in the formula are highlighted in different colors. This is excellent. However, as soon as the mouse is moved or editing of the formula starts, all the highlighting is removed. This is bad. The highlighting of referenced cells should be retained, and updated as the formula is edited.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click a cell (twice) to indicate you want to edit the contents.
2.The referenced cells in the formula of the cell to be edited are highlighted with different colors.
3.Move the cursor or type something.
4.The color highlighting disappears.

Actual Results:
See "Steps to Reproduce"

Expected Results:
The highlighting of the referenced cells should be retained and updated as the cell is edited.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
The highlighting of the referenced cells should be retained and updated as the cell is edited.
