There's at least ONE person working on it......granted, it's someone with very 
little free time and doesn't get much done.  :-)

Hear!  Hear!  More developers would be fantastic!  I've already looked at this 
and honestly, the reason this bug isn't being worked on (besides a lack of 
manpower) is that it is going to be a PAIN to fix.  Quite honestly, there are 
other important problems that can be fixed in much less time.  However if you 
want to work on this (or anything else in KSpread) send me an email and I'll 
show you where to get started on it.  This is the one area of kspread's code 
that I'm quite familiar with.

The next version of KOffice isn't being released until August, anyway, so even 
if you're not a developer, I would expect to have this fixed myself by then.
