Screenshots from Excel and Google Sheets

Hi Heiko, IMO the way LO currently draws a rectangle around the cell range
could have more highlight, to provide the user clearer feedback on which ranges
are part of the formula.

For example, see the attached ODG where I took screenshots of how Excel (online
and desktop) as well as Google Sheets address this issue. They basically use
background highlight colors to make it more visible to the user. We could adopt
this strategy in LO as well.

Just as a side note, this issue became more apparent to me while using LO Calc
during class, where I show spreadsheets using a projector and I have to zoom in
so that students can see what I'm teaching. When I double-clicked a formula, I
was not able to see the rectangles, because they were to thin. And on my laptop
I could barely see them. If we had thicker borders or a background highlight
color, this issue could be solved.
