What a pain in the.... well, you know. I had completed an entire spreadsheet with 71 links only then to discover this issue. The ONLY real workable fix I have found is to right-click the broken link, edit the hyperlink and manually choose the file from the drop-down menu by selecting the appropriate path. So far by doing this I can save, close and re-open the sheet and the links are still working. You'd think something like this would have been resolved in beta BEFORE the push, ya?

We're seeing other issues too.

Got a report back that removing the patch got rid of those symptoms discussed there.
