Description mdoller 2001-05-23 20:56:31 UTC 
when using gnumeric, there is no way (that i know of) to see which cells
contain a function, and which have plain old data entered into them
i propose that gnumeric keep a little indicator in the upper right corner
of the cell to show that the cell contains a function
will attach a screenshot mock-up soon

h18 shows the sum of h10 and h11

There are several existing ways to handle this now.

1) You can toggle display formula or result
2) You can use the search/replace dialog to iterate through the 
expressions

However this is a nice idea, and it would be fairly simple to 
implement.  It would be a nice project for a new developer.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

You can switch th emarker on in View->ViewProperties. Since it is a view properties you could have one view of a file with markers and another of teh same file without markers.
