Description Ahamed 2013-06-15 11:22:59 UTC
Created attachment 80865 [details]
the png file taken using screenshot of the typical dependent trace when the dependent cell is in another sheet

Problem description: 
while trying to get the dependent trace of a cell the arrows get a hammer-like style and it is not possible to go to the dependent cell(s) if it happens to be in another sheet other than the current sheet 
Steps to reproduce:
1. in sheet1.cell-A1 enter a value say 22
2. in the sencond sheet in the cell-A1 enter a formula say Sheet1.A1
3. while focus is in the Sheet1.A1, find the dependent trace by Tools->Detective->Trace Dependents 


Current behavior:
it will show the trace as a hammer


Expected behavior:
an arrow (/arrows depending upon the number of dependents) and on clicking will lead to the dependent cell
              
Suggestion :
instead of /additional to this (ie arrow) a separate box like that of comment box (Insert-> comment of the menu) with all the depending cell addresses in absolute mode

Operating System: All
Version: 4.0.0.3 release
