    Hi everyone,
    I've done some Excel work sheets at work using Ms office 2007. At home I managed to eddit these worksheets using Libreoffice in windows 10. I was amazed that Libreoffice recognized all complex formulas and different formating  that I created using Ms office 2007. Libreoffce seems to work perfectly in windows 10 but with a small problem under Deepin os unfortunately. It's only a minor issue related to inablity to show clearly the cell reference mainly when you move from on cell to another. As you know a picture is worth a thousand words.
    Please! Have a look at it and help me fix the problem.

    Lately I found that the real solution is to install the latest libreoffice flatpak version. It's really solid.

    I see your thread as still not been replied. Maybe members here that use Libreoffice Calc know if this is inherent with the Linux version of Libreoffice Calc or not ? If you feel that it is a problem under the Deepin os you can use Deepin User Feedback in your applications.

    I do not have any issue with Cell Reference display. I'm using LibreOffice version: 5.1.1.3, upgraded from Debian Sid repository. If the version you're using is older and from Deepin repository I would use Deepin User Feedback tool to report the bug, as https://bbs.deepin.org/user/40166 suggested. You may also try to upgrade LibreOffice version and see if it solves it.

    Deepin also comes with WPS Office installed which is known to have greater compatibility with MS native formats, try it.

    Thanks for the suggestions but WPS office excel doesn't support RTL layout direction as in Ms excel or even Liberoffice calc. Moreover WPS doesn't support more than 3 conditional formating for the same range in excel.  I downloaded the same version that exists in deepin 15.1.1 store. I tried libreoffice 5.1.1 in manjaro for testing pupose and it seems to work pretty well !!
