Please could you provide a screenshot ?
Did you see that LibO-Calc 3.5.0 has now a multiline formula bar ?

Same problem here. The formula bar is not correctly updated, try to click over a cell when typing into formula bar.
Another problem is that updating is very very slow, almost unusable.
Regression from 3.4.x and big usability problem.
Comment 4 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2012-03-13 13:56:24 UTC
I do not reproduce with LO 3.5.2 rc0+ (Version ID : 75fce8a-720bbeb-73cb0b8-f269e46-686380c) under Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64 with gnome-shell. Not tested with Unity.
Best regards. JBF

Maybe Windows specific?

> Maybe Windows specific?

I do not think so, the screenshot shows an Ubuntu screen.
Comment 7 vitriol 2012-03-13 14:23:43 UTC
Open Calc, push "=" button in the formula bar and then click over a cell -> formula bar not updated.

Yes, it is.

I can't reproduce the original problem (type in cell and input line is not updated), but I can reproduce that a click on cell or a selection of range adds the cell/range only to the formula in the cell, but not in the input line.

@Noel: your's?

I suspect that the original problem may be due to the fact that in certain conditions (I don't know which...) the formula bar updating become very slow.
However, I think it may be a different problem after all.

I guess :-( Also I can only reproduce the range selection only updating the cell content but not the inputbar

Is there any chance to see this fix in version 3.5.x? With this bug Calc is
almost unusable for me...
Thank you.
