Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 45174
Editing-line should show complete cell-text when moving to the cell, as option
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:27 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!

see also issue 61503 for an extended wish
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.
