The "Name Box" widget in LibreOffice Calc, on the left of the formulas bar in the main toolbar, is often too narrow for long/explicit cell/column/row ranges names, and it's therefore difficult to quickly check the exact name of a range without having to bring up the whole "Manage Names…" dialog (which is a ton of extra steps to deal with). It would be much nicer if I could see the full name of the range in a tooltip widget when I hover the Name Box with the mouse (or even when I hover the column / row, when the range is a whole column/row). To reproduce, in a Calc spreadsheet: 1. Select column A and name it "col_amount_paid_forex_unchecked" 2. Select column B, and name it "col_amount_paid_forex_checked" 3. Select column A and try to read it. You can't easily do that, as the Name Box is truncated to "col_amount_paid_f" (in the GTK3 version) This is particularly problematic when you have ton of named ranges (I have dozens per sheet). --- Tested with: Version: 25.8.2.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d401f2107ccab8f924a8e2df40f573aab7605b6f CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.16; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Flatpak
Alternatively / in addition, it could be nice if the dropdown menu that shows up when you click the "⌄" menubutton on the right of the Name Box would highlight the current selection's corresponding name in the list, by making it boldtype or putting an icon/emoji next to it (such as a checkmark: ✓), that way it would work even with touchscreens that can't display tooltips, though it would require an extra click in that case.
