"Getting Name" bug on my worksheet
One of the cells in my worksheet has a "Getting Name" bug on my worksheet - I have no idea what this is referring to - I've never seen this in my 40-years of using Excel - there are no Range Names no...

The icon looks similar to the "X people are here" icon. But in my case, I doubt it. I'm using my own file, it's not shared, and Excel simply doesn't need to look up my own name, for me, the already-currently-logged-on-user.
Unless there's a bug, and it can't actually do that, and when it realizes it's me, it hides the icon, but today for whatever reason, Excel hit a bug and couldn't retrieve my own name, and so, never hid the icon. Peut-être.
