As Jean Bréfort has already commented, this is fallout from a change in the
canvas widget used in Gnumeric. (As is #546690 BTW)
Jean has fixed this issue through
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnumeric/commit/?id=b3b2325915b2f2420f9a20fd1d8e68eb548d7782
and I'm currently in the process of verifying that fix.

This was a brown paper bag bug resulting from a manual edit which was
followed by
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnumeric/commit/?id=9a60b5e41819d7b2c76c7181efc0a5962ea9a320
extending the automated test suite to catch this class of problems.

No. We're currently tracking upstream's development releases and currently,
development is rather active but strapped for resources. Some fallout,
however unfortunate, is to be expected.

No. 1.8 is no longer being maintained and 1.9.x contains a large number of
fixes and improvements over it.
