Sorry, it appears there is nothing we can do.

This would be a long standing issue that M$ is aware of but is too cheap to fix.
.
You can submit a feedback to MS, "just in case" they are not aware of it. But even if they choose to work on it the fix would be a long time coming. Don't hold your breath waiting for it ...

Feedback Hub
The “Answers” forum / community is “staffed” mostly by users like yourself, unpaid volunteers. This forum is intended more for “How to do something in application A” type questions. We sometimes can provide work-arounds for problems, but we can’t do anything about underlying problem. If the forum can’t solve your question you need to talk directly to MS, you need to submit a “Feedback” to MS.
.
For a couple of years now MS has had a "feedback" process that allows users submit bug reports / problems, suggestions and new feature requests directly to MS developers and managers. You can submit feedbacks from within many MS apps, or you can use the Win10 “Feedback Hub” app. This article describes the different ways you can submit Feedback to MS:

.
There is also a new web based “Feedback Portal” in development. It is still labelled “Preview”. It provides functionality similar to the feedback hub. Access to feedbacks submitted in 34+ categories.

I was talking to an Excel MS developer whose job does include monitor feedback submissions. He says that the more specific you are about the problem, how to recreate it, what you see, what you expect to see, screen captures etc , the more likely they are to act on it, and maybe even try to contact you.
.
Depending on which of the contact channels you use, you sometimes have a (hidden) option to include contact info (your email). Like this forum, their system automagically strips out emails included in the feedback. So if you want to embed your email in the feedback, like in this forum, break it up ie
. Your dot name At email dot com
As users we are unpaid quality control testers, we identify bugs, they pick which feedbacks they will work on, and when they will release them, for testing by Insiders and to general public.
.
But don't "expect" anything like feedback about your feedback back from MS. The most you can expect is to see that MS has updated the feedback “Status”
MS Status “feedback” to user in Win10 Feedback Hub.Note: The image above also includes the button to click to get a “Share” link to this specific feedback.
Feedback to MS is still mostly, but no longer totally, a black hole sucking in information without any return

MS will make fixes and changes on their own schedule.
.
They will not provide much, if any, advance notice of what they are working on and/or when it will be released.
.
Hint : get a “share” link to your feedback (may take a couple of minutes to process the initial submission of the feedback) and post the link back to this question. That way if someone finds this question they will be able to link directly to your feedback so they can vote for it and add their comments. The more feedback on a subject, the more likely it is to be acted on.
.
Keeping a copy of the link also makes it eaier for you to find it again in the future Having
i.e.
"Feedback" suggesting that they create a "Support / Support" category in the feedback app to collect complaints about poor service in MS Support: https://aka.ms/AAdyeq0

https://www.zdnet.com/article/weird-bug-made-google-docs-crash-if-you-typed-one-word-five-times/
The key takeaway in this article was “About two hours after Needham reported the issue, Google notified users on its support page that it was investigating the issue.” And they fixed the problem before the magazine was able to confirm the problem existed.
