Yes.

It has been fixed in 1.2.1. For now, the Debian packages of 1.2.1 reside in
the `experimental' tree; I cannot update the version in unstable currently
as that would break the whole of the transition of python 2.3 into testing
(see http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=gnumeric) (as it would
prevent 1.2.0 from going into testing). Hopefully, the python transition
will happen in the next 12 hours; then I can get a 1.2.1 build into
unstable.

HTH,
