  If I try to edit a cell after programmatically applying a background with

  setStyle

  , I see both the cell editor view and the cell values. The cell editor does not show up on top of the cell values like it should.

  For example, if I edit a cell with formula B2+B3 and value 30, I expect to see B2+B3 only (no 30). And if the formula spills onto adjacent cells, I expect the formula to appear on top of those cells.

  Instead, on cells I have modified with

  setStyle

  , I see both B2+B3 and 30; and if the formula spills onto adjacent cells, I see an overlap between the formula and the adjacent cell values.

  This only happens when I modify the background with

  setStyle

  . If I modify text color, it works fine.

  Is there a way to prevent this issue?

  Hi,

  I tried to replicate the behavior on my end with the available information but couldn’t reproduce it. In my case, when editing a cell and entering a formula, only the formula is displayed, not the value. Please refer to the attached GIF and sample: Sample.zip

  GIF:

  If you are not already using the latest version (18.2.2), could you try with that and see if the issue persists? If it does, to better assist you, please share a minimal working sample along with the steps to reproduce the behavior you’re observing, or modify the existing sample to demonstrate the issue. This will help me investigate it more thoroughly. Additionally, providing a GIF or video of the problem would be very helpful.

  Regards,
