I've reported this problem multiple times to the vendor as you know
and just called again. Supposedly we'll get a patch release that
fixes this. I'll install it when (and if) they send it.

Based on their prior lack of responsiveness I wouldn't hold my breath. I
suggest that you switch to a newer and better maintained spreadsheet
like the one in Open Office or gnumeric. There isn't much else I can do.
