John, You've done well so far, finding a bug that is apparently the same problem you are having.
The next thing you must do is try to determine whether the 22 Apr 2002 report that the problem is fixed in CVS means that the fix: * should be in the version of KSpread that you have (meaning that the bug really is not fixed, and you should update the bug to tell the developer it is not fixed), or * should be in a version of KSpread that is already released but you don't have yet (meaning you should think about upgrading), or * should be in the next version to be released (meaning you need to wait for a new version to be released -- unless you want to try to compile your own upgraded version which I do not recommend -- just because I would find that painful to do). I don't follow KSpread well enough to know which is the case, but based on the 22 Apr 2002 fix date, I suspect we have to wait for the next version of kde/kspread to be released. If you do have to update the bug report, you can do so by emailing more information to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Include all the information that is relevant, save a sample file that demonstrates the problem, and offer to send it the developer on request (unless you have a web site or something similar where you can make it available for download).
