Description terrynorth 2006-02-02 03:53:47 UTC 
This has two parts so perhaps it should be two issues.  I can't work that out.
Part I:  When you want to type or edit long cell contents, for example, a
complex formula with nested conditions, I am used to an edit box that expands to
show all contents of the cell.  That would be a welcome enhancement.
Part II: The contrary applies when looking at the cell where the new/edited
contents are to be entered.  If, say, your cell is in a table, you typically
want to refer to other cells in the same row.  It is convenient to use the mouse
pointer to select such cells (thereby grabbing the cell references) at the
appropriate point in the formula.  Unfortunately, the fact that you are editing
the cell blocks your access to nearby cells.  The workaround is that you select
a cell in the row beneath/above and change the row reference.  It would be
better if you could just use the edit box (duly expanded so that you can follow
what you have done and are doing) and grab cell references unimpeded by
expansion of the cell being edited.

I understand what you want...

Part I is a double to issue 45714

Part II is new to me and sounds reasonable, I confirm it here

sorry, issue 45174
Comment 3 terrynorth 2006-02-06 09:00:22 UTC 
Issue 45174 goes further than my comments.  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.

It's basically a double to Issue 45174.
