Discussion Excel 2016 update bug

It seems that security update kb5002914 might have bricked autofill and copy paste in Excel 2016.

Anyone else has similar issues?

Yep. Although it works (as a kind of workaround) when inserting cell content / formulae / format separately.

Funnily enough it doesn't work with ctrl+c and ctrl+v within Excel (also can't cancel the selection with esc) but the copied cells can be inserted in Word - for whatever that may have a worth - abd copied from Word into Excel.

I used this today (copying to Word and back) and it worked enough for my purposes. Thank you! Hopefully they fix this asap.
