--- Comment #17 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We could

a) stick to the OS/DE: this means NAB

b) add an option to tools > options > calc > view: this inflates the options
dialog further

c) have some kind of interaction on the control, could be a drop down with a
couple of font sizes or some ctrl+wheel response specifically on the control:
with the drawback that this either holds only a limited number or is hard to
figure out for average users

d) follow the selected cell's font (maybe all attributes not just the size):
does not work for multi-selection with varying content and in case of no
selection; has also the drawback of a "jumping" UI

e) follow the zoom factor on the sheet: not necessarily what users expect and,
like all other options messing-up with the UI, makes the UI imbalanced
(thinking of the size of associated icons left-hand and the range selector);
plus in multi-line mode with an enlarged font it could become too large

f) show the content somewhere else, eg. the functions pane in the sidebar or as
balloon tip when hovering over the cell: the formula bar is not intended as
"text viewer" for very long text in cells


So what is the exact use case that cannot be solved with the formula bar?
Reading bug 88141 it seems the user enters long text in cells, which is cut off
because of content in neighboring cells and cannot become wrapped for some
reason, and uses the formula bar to just read the content.
