> I can confirm that CTRL shift F9 does recalculate the cell.

Thanks for reporting! Good to know; this confirms comment 6.

> Where is this in the menus?

Indeed it was not in the menus in v.5.1 by default; it's added to the Data menu
(Recalculate Hard) in a later version. Note however, that it's impossible to
add every of many hundreds of available functions into menus; all of them are
manually assignable using Tools->Customize.

> Selecting the cell and pressing F9 does NOT update the value.

Yes, in v.5.1 that is the problem (that I confirmed). It is resolved in 5.2.

Displaying cached values is *not* a bug - this is the idea behind caching the
values; you can make any other software that uses caching to behave similarly,
e.g. Excel. But not refreshing on F9 or on changing of referenced data (with
auto-calculation enabled) is. The proper fix is to prevent such things from
happening, which obviously has already happened.

You may use the related PPA [1].

So closing WORKSFORME (as it was fixed by an unknown commit). Thank you very
much for reporting!
