Description khalat.dosky 2013-04-23 22:57:14 UTC
I find that there is one feature missing from LibreOffice that i find that is a a great feature. This Feature im not quite sure what it is exactly called but it is when say i enter into calc =A1 it highlights the selected A1 cell immediately; however in calc you have to double click to find the selected cells that were imputed. 
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/16412/how-do-you-colour-cells-on-calc/#16447
it has also been discussed in this link above.
thank you

High - not sure why this isn't already done, seems quite useful vs. having to take the extra step to double click

Keywords - 

Whiteboard Status - proposedeasyhack - not sure but this might be easy to accomplish

LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free. We invite you to join our triaging by checking out this link:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage

There are also other ways to get involved including with marketing, UX, documentation, and of course developing -  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/. 

Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please always provide reproducible steps (even if it seems easy) and attach any and all relevant material

This is something Excel switchers would really miss actually.
Comment 3 khalat.dosky 2013-06-21 05:15:30 UTC
Yeah I know, can I ask if the feature has been successfully added to Libre Office?
Comment 4 Joel Madero 2013-06-21 14:43:09 UTC
No - if it's added there will be a notice here - this is an enhancement request, our developers are busy fixing high priority bugs - this request will have to wait until developers have some free time or until someone else looks at the code and fixes it

Comment 7 Joel Madero 2014-02-27 23:03:36 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
