Feature request

This isn't latest release, could someone confirm if not in latest?

1. Create a new spreadsheet
2. Enter a SUM range SUM(B1:B3) in cell A1
3. Click with mouse on it to edit, observe the blue outline box is visible vertically covering B1 to B3. Now edit it, and type B44 but do not press [Enter]
4. Observe the new range B1 to B44 is not visualised.

This feature request is important, because sometimes people make a typo, and they only find out later if they do not notice, or do not check back the range by clicking once more to visualise the range (too clicks, once to highlight cell, once in equation box to visualise the range of the SUM.
