Description alexbennee 2009-07-11 10:38:04 UTC 
The attached screenshot should explain everything. When debugging a formula
OO.org helpfully colours the terms and the cell borders so you can see which is
which. However if you use the same cell reference multiple times in the formula
each reference is assigned a unique colour but each cell is only coloured once.
This is confusing and presents a usability issue.

Hopefully the attached picture is clear.
