Description tommyads 2005-03-16 12:27:30 UTC
A text in a cell, longer than the cell and longer than the editing-line, is not
fully displayed when the cursor moves to the cell. Only when clicking on the
cell the editing-line changes into a multi-line, and therefore showing the whole
long text of the cell.

I would appreciate an option which - when checked - would result in the
automatic displaying of the whole cell-text when just moving the cursor to the
cell, without the necessity of a mouse-click into the cell or pressing F2.

I need this for my project-management, where the tasks are writen into single
cells in the first column, which is not very wide so there is space enough on
the screen for other columns. 

Thanks!

Issue 45174 goes further than my comments in issue 61503.  I believe that
ordinarily the edit box can remain at its standard size.  I only see a need for
expanding the edit box when the user wishes to edit cell contents which extend
beyond the normal size of the edit box.
