Frustrating behaviour after F4 to fix references

Post by SRF »

Hi,

In Planmaker:

I start a formula by pressing "=" and then click on a cell.

Then I press F4 to fix that reference, which it duly does.

Then I press "+" to continue the formula and... the reference disappears, leaving only "+" in the cell.

(It doesn't matter what I press after F4 - it could be another cell reference, or a bracket, or anything else - it deletes the fixed reference.)

This behaviour is incredibly frustrating. It slows your work down significantly, because you have to click at the end of the fixed reference before continuing. It doesn't happen in Excel, OnlyOffice or LibreOffice.

Could it be fixed please?

Thanks,


Steve

Just to add to this: when I enter a range (e.g. A4:A6) and then hit F4, BOTH of those references should be fixed, not just the last one. Again, this is how other suites do it. If the user only wishes to fix one of the two references - which is relatively unusual - they should highlight it specifically.

I know this may seem a small thing, but it genuinely slows me down a lot!
