Excel cell turns black whilst entering data

Hi,

There's a document that's used by some people in the office and whenever they try to enter data into it the cell turns black while they're doing it and they can't see what they've typed until they click off it. These documents are something to do with Sage and not something they've created and if they make a new sheet within them they can edit cells without issue. I'm sure it's just some setting somewhere but could someone please enlighten me as to what it might be?

Thanks

    I just started having this problem today also.  Not sure why.  Maybe an update bug?

    Same here--started with the last update.  i even called microsoft support.  They basically uninstalled and reinstalled the programs and it worked for a few days but now it's doing it again.    it's extremely frustrating.

    According to Microsoft support there will be a new feature release that is scheduled to come out on Tuesday 10/10 that should fix this issue permanently.

    If you do a rollback

    OfficeC2RClient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.8326.2058

    That fixes the issue sort of.   Be sure to turn off automatic updates for office.

    The new update does not apply automatically when checking for updates.   I would imagine that MS is staging the update.

    I also couldn't find a place to manually download the update.
