Description Chema Celorio 2001-12-13 00:52:50 UTC 
0. Add another sheet to the workbook (sheet2)
1. B5=sum(Sheet2!B3:B7)
2. Hit enter, go to B5 and hit F2

the range is highlighted in red, even thought it is in Sheet2
Comment 1 Jody Goldberg 2001-12-25 21:58:07 UTC 
This is a user error.
B7 is hightlighted, not Sheet2!B5
Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2001-12-26 18:29:38 UTC 
I used to be able to repeat this problem but the described situation
now appears to be fixed. Nevertheless slightly different version still
occurs:


0. Open gnumeric and add another sheet to the workbook (Sheet2)
1. On Sheet1 click on B5 and enter (by typing) =sum(Sheet2!B3:B7)

Stop when you have typed the closing parenthesis. Now a red box is
around B3:B7 on Sheet1. Why?

2. Type Enter
3. Click on Sheet1:B5, click behind the closing parenthesis.

Now a red box is around B3:B7 on Sheet1. Why?
