We'll get to it soon.

We do patrtially support this.  When editing a forumula as the
cursor enters a range in the edit line the corresponding range is
highlighted in the sheet.  It needs work.

Nope, but it should be a fairly easy project for someone.

I'm just too lazy to bother.  With luck the packagers will take care
of installing it nicely.  For the next version we're going to do
things differently.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

This would be a nice addition, we'll see about adding it.

Not really fixable in 1.0.  Hopefully as the gnome2 print
architecture matures we'll get a better idea of how to do this
correctly.

I don't understand

Hmm, could depend on your graphics setup,  this should be pretty
fast.

True.  The development branch has improved this, but it is still not
something we've tried to optimize for.

Its not glade related.  The non-bonobo build should allow you to
drag them.  The bonobo build does not support it.

Select the cols/rows to either side of the hidden region and unhide.

No excuses necessary please keep up the feedback.  It would be
easier for us to manage if you could file them notes in bugzilla.
Don't be shy.  I'd rather have things recorded,
