That would be "settings and preview show actual format of box/table/frame
when dialog opens".

But GNUMERIC doesn't seem to allow to switch cells while dialog is open
whereas AbiWord does.

But isn't that confusing? Shouldn't the preview area show what it *would*
look like if applying the settings (rather than what the frame *looks* like)?

I agree.
