Calc spreadsheet showing non-wrapping in C4 and footer

Long fields, for example Path/Filename, Sheet Name or Document Title when they are longer than the available space don't wrap. This occurs in footers and also in spreadsheet cells.

The attached example shows the field 'Sheet Name' in both the footer and in a spreadsheet cell. In both cases, the same data has been inserted as both text and as a field. The text wraps as expected, but the field does not.

Note also that fields in the Centre area of footers will overwrite the Left area and Right area contents unless the Centre area includes newlines (as in the example). 

This problem does not occur with fields in .odt documents where fields wrap in the body and in the footer of documents.
