Description: A fix for this bug / deficiency has been requested previously by multiple people. We need to be able to enlarge the FORMULA BAR, to make changes within it easier. Note that "View" has no effect on it. We need a setting which allows us to specifically enlarge the FORMULA BAR. Actual Results: Currently, the FORMULA BAR can not be enlarged. This is a deficiency. Expected Results: Currently, the FORMULA BAR can not be enlarged. This is a deficiency. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: We need to be able to enlarge the FORMULA BAR, with no effect on the rest of the spreadsheet.
The font size of the Formula bar, or the count of lines of the visible bar? Font size has been rejected as => WF. Count of visible lines when dragged open is 6 but can be increased in expert config.
I can absolutely understand how those who are writing complex formulas would also need the FORMULA BAR to be as large as needed (with wrap) for those formulas.
UI defaults for the Calc formula inputwin (aka FormulaBarHeight [1]) with the simple arrow toggle is to show 6 lines. One line of the inputwin is shown by default, but it can be dragged to a maximum of 25 line--should hold any reasonable cell content. https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/offapi/com/sun/star/sheet/SpreadsheetViewSettings.idl?r=5687eba49fa06202bd190c87ad8e7af634354799#150
