[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 129847] ### indication of "cell too narrow" should additionally show "more content" red arrow

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129847

--- Comment #9 from Sean Young <sean@mess.org> ---
I want to add that I just wasted hours trying to figure what ### means. I had a
field which was a sum of another set of fields. After entering some values in
the the fields it was sum() over, the sum field changed to ###. 

I assumed that I had copy-pasted some non-numeric unicode characters, so I
tried re-entering the values manually. Same problem.

I then opened the document in the google docs and it worked fine. So I assumed
that libreoffice calc must be broken. Google docs showed part of the value
followed by ... so I widened the column. 

Then I re-opened the document in calc and, behold, it worked! So I had to
reverse-engineer what ### means.

Please can we get rid of this ###. Noone uses ###. The standard symbol for
omission is the ellipsis (...).
