Description 7qia0tp02 2025-05-13 21:16:19 UTC 
Description:
The comment indicator was made smaller and less obtrusive in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158958#c22 but the formula indicator is still very large and obtrusive.  Can it be made the same size as the comment indicator?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a function
2. Turn on "Formula indicator and hint"
3.

Actual Results:
Big dark blue triangle

Expected Results:
Small lighter blue triangle?


Reproducible: Always

The argument to reduce the size of the note indicator was that it potentially covers the cell content. But what is the reason to shrink the size of the formula indicator? I mean you enabled it intentionally under tools > options...
