Bug report 1.0.8

["Strong, Russell" <RStrong raytheon com au>]

While SCROLLING through my spread sheet to check that my formulas spanned
the correct cells.  I noticed that the red cursor did not cover all the
cells in the equation ( sum ). It only covered the cells that were visible
at the time the cell was selected for editing.

I've created a patch that removes the clipping to the visible region of the
item cursor, and let the canvas clip the item.  I haven't noticed a speed
decrease by doing this, but I am guessing that this was put in place for a
reason? That said, you may or may not like to fix it this way:
