--- Comment #6 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed this topic in the design meeting. 

   + convenience feature if one can click another cell to overwrite 
     but at the same time + to continue a formula
   + MS Excel does behave the same but does not show the selection
   + complaints are rare, behavior exists forever
   + not showing the selection shouldn't hurt too much
   + difference to Excel is that we highlight only the last cell
     while Excel shows a color coding for all, eg. =A1+A2+A3 makes
     the border of A1 red, A2 green, A3 blueish
   + Excel highlighting is also not straight-forward as it misses 
     the overwrite aspect
   + lot of effort for not much benefit

Putting all together we decided to keep the current behavior.
