I use a two monitor system and will have MS Excel 2013 running on both. On one monitor I can select a range of numbers and the sum total will show in he status bar. When I select a cell in the workbook on my other monitor the sum total disappears. Is there a way to not have the sum total disappear?

Edit: Thank you Jude Wong for the work-around. I am disappointed that I have to continue to open separate instances of excel to maintain functionality like I did with 2010. Bummer.

If you open another instance of Excel those results will still remain because it see's both instances as active windows.

Has this bug been corrected yet? I really need this to work for a dual monitor situation. I use the sum to post from one form to another multiple times per day.
Our offices have been updated with this Microsoft Office 2013 version. A lot of us have been using this feature for so long and now it's gone. Will there be any way to fix this issue ASAP? Thanks.
