pro modeless dialog:

- modifications in the spreadsheet are possible while working with the
dialog( is that really an advantage? makes handling of the dialog much
more difficult if we for example delete a sheet and now several of the
range names disappear or are modified)

Should that be listed under "con" instead? ;-)  Additionally, any
insertion/deletion/movement has to be reflected in the dialog as well if
it affects the currently selected and displayed entry.


con modeless dialog:

- marking a range in the spreadsheet can no longer automatically be
used for the expression line ( nice feature in my opinion )

This IMHO is a killer, not being able to select a range using mouse or
cursor keys is a significant drawback.

So my idea would be to use something in the direction of Astron's
suggestion but modal. Then we can think about how we can make ( if we
still want) this dialog modeless without loosing performance for the
3-6 release. We would have a nice dialog for the 3-5 release without
any regressions and will have enough time to think about how we can
address the disadvantages of a modeless dialog.

Seconded.

And we should not
forget that the feature freeze is 5 weeks and we should have finished
our work on this except for some minor bug fixes.

Indeed, good point.

I know that this is not a perfect solution but in my opinion a new
dialog which introduces performance problems is neither perfect.

What do you think about this idea?

Like.
