Another option is to temporarily increase the row height of row 1
by clicking and dragging on the bar between the row headers.

When I click F2 to try and edit a long, multi-line formula and trace the
various dependents, the formula covers the column headers, making it
impossible to follow the dependent cells. Is there a setting I can modify
to
make sure both the formula and the column headers are visible in edit mode
(without having to resort to edit in cell)?

Thanks
