Description LeroyG 2024-12-09 14:35:59 UTC
I need to compare formulas in different spreadsheets.

But the cell content in the input line is shown only in the active window of Calc (even if there are two spreadsheets, more than one window of the same spreadsheet, or if the active window is Writer).

Is that a bug or is intended by a reason unknown for me?

Menu View - Show Formula is not an option because of font size or column width.

As a workaround, using parallel versions of LibreOffice don't affect the input line. So the cell content is shown in both windows (e.g., LO 6.4.7.2 and LO 24.2.7.2).

Thanks.
