Extremely slow navigating between cells in MS Excel 2016 when a cell contains a comment or dropdown #7348

when using MS office 2016 as a direct enterprise install, or MS office 365, I notice a real slow down when using ms excel and using the arrow keys to navigate between cells. Sometimes it can take up to 2 seconds to move between cells. I have seen this issue on many different types of coputer. I have attached an excell file which you can see the problem in. with office 2010, this does not appear to be an issue. sometimes there is no speech at all when moving between cells, particularly if i have entered something into a cell and then hit enter to update it. I have noticed this is particularly present when inputting numbers, which you can do by using the price column in my excel sheet i've attached. The only way to fix this seems to alt tab out of the excel window and then back in again before it starts reading the cells, all be it very slowly. Incidentely I just have it reading cell coordinates, not boarders or other information beyond the text in the cells.
I have noticed this issue for about the last 8 months using the NVDA next builds, but just haven't gotten around to reporting it. My bad.
I use Excel daily for work now so this is getting to be a real issue for me. Any help you could offer would be most appreciated and I am happy to try things to help. many Thanks.
