I can't figure out why or how to fix this problem, the formula bar seems to have sized itself to a certain width. It doesn't matter how I have my screen or the width of the cell I am editing...

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Hi, you probably have a line feed character in the tables column name.

I just did some experimenting; I added a line feed to the header in Column L and the formula in Column M got all funky, WTF?

Hi, the formula bar is honouring the line feed characters. What's the problem exactly?

I have no line feed characters in my formula; I have to expand the formula bar to read the formulas, it's a little annoying.

The line feed characters are in a different column header than the formulas they are affecting, how is that useful?

The line feed character is in the name of the column, and the name of the column (including the linefeed character) is in the formula. Can you just remove the line feed characters? Obviously that will potentially have an impact on how the table header is displayed.
