behavior mouse over a formula

Problem description: 

Mouse over a formula show the same as the text e.g. the result. It should display the formula.

Steps to reproduce:
1. By pressing F2 you can enter a formula into your text.
e.g. =2+3
2. After pressing enter you will see the result in the text.
e.g. 5
3. If you move your courser of the result you will see a yellow text box. 

Current behavior:
This box also shows the result.
e.g. 5

Expected behavior:
The box should show the formula.
e.g. =2+3

This was the former behavior on OpenOffice.org
              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.1.2 release

Hi,

Thanks for reporting!
I can confirm the current behavior, and agree with the fact "show the formula" is better.

Therefore I mark this as NEW. Nevertheless, this is as far I can see not a bug, but is created that way. Therefore I mark this as an enhancement.

Kind regards,
Joren

Dear all,

the described problem still exist, see below.

I think the current behavior is not in favor of the user, see below. Maybe this might be solved in one of the later versions. Then my comment is obsolete.

Operating System: Windows 7
LibreOffice Version: 4.1.1.2
Comment 3 Joel Madero 2014-02-27 23:03:44 UTC
In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise

Thanks!

Lets mark it again as NEW due the fact this patch is not merged yet.

@Miklos: you mind reviewing and push this patch if it's the correct fix :)?
Thanks

Dear all,

I still see the same problem after years.

Libre Office 5.0.5 ubuntu

I recall from times of OpenOffice that it was correct:

correct:
- F2 entrer formular in Writer
- press enter
- result is displayed
- mouse over result should display formula

not correct since transition from OpenOffice to Libre Office many years ago:
- mouse over result is displaying result
- this is making no sense

I've uploaded working patch years ago (attachment few comments above). The patch fixes this issue. I don't know development processes on LibreOffice project, someone should do code review and apply the patch. Nobody did it. So it's turn on LibreOffice team to apply the patch to source code (if it's possible after those years of development).

oh, I see, I didn't see your patch.
However, patches aren't review in Bugzilla but in Gerrit instead. That's the reason no one took a look at your patch.
Could you please submit it to gerrit as described here:
