Spreadsheet cyclic dependency and Report View

Post by MatejSpindler »

In spreadsheet workbench a cyclic dependency is detected, and comunicated to the user when mouse is howgering over the cell, as seen in the screenshot.

But report view and notifications only show: "Recompute failed! Please check report view."
So report view is directing the user to check the report view, which has no usful information.

It would proboably be better if report view and notifications also stated what went wrong.

Im using latest weekly appimage.
