--- Comment #10 from LARRY <LV...@NCTC.COM> ---
Just want to add, from an end user's standpoint, that the calc artifact problem
is more than an annoyance.

When entering data for critical financial reports, one may see information in
cells on the display that is leftover from another sheet (i.e. tabbing from
sheet to sheet). This mis-information can cause a user to attempt to "fix" a
problem on a sheet that may not actually exist, or attempt to interpret data
that is being displayed incorrectly.

When collecting data on several tabbed sheets, if the user is not aware of the
artifact problem, the visual data carry-over situation can effect

1) mis-interpretation of data displayed to the viewer,

2) corruption of data when attempting to fix a problem that may not actually
exist,

3) and significant time lost to reconstruct and/or recover data.

Minimizing then maximizing the application window causes the artifacts to
disappear and correct data to be displayed. But as soon as the user tabs to
another sheet, the problem returns.
