Description duceil 2019-01-07 15:40:00 UTC
It is more a wish than a bug: lack of custom calc formula.

Using large spreasheets with long and complex formulas. When these formulas need some maintenance, they are not easily read because the font/size used is not changeable via settings menu.

My wishes:
- possibility to set different colors and font size for: column and raw references, comma and brackets (or other signes) via the general calc menu.
- with long and embended commands, get the possibility to set a seconf color for braces/brackets/... delimiters.

Actually i have tried some alternative addons 'libreoffice extensions' like 'highlitning' and 'FaF' but after they get installed as expected, they refuse to edit a cell or range due to a basic runtime error (on a ubuntu gnome-shell on xorg session; while someone told me he succeed with Kde).

Hope you guys will put some fun around the formula editor for calc.

Now using 6.3.3

I have been well surprised by the better font & size now used with the formula editor: this a a huge step done about readability. Many thanks.

Hope to get next a solution to differenciate the script & their subscript(s) (embedded) using colored () [] {} for example
