Publisher [1.8.0.502] XLSX import

[StuartRc]

Been playing around with the Excel Import feature today
1.Created(copied country stat data) from original file into Excel online (oneDrive) and downloaded as XLSX file (Std)
2. Copied Same Data into GDocs (Spreadsheet) and again downloaded as XLSX file

Open Publisher and try to place files..
The Excel file imported as table as expected except when you try to drag/resize/stretch the file/table around the page artefacts are left behind!
The GDocs file completely failed...no import at all.

Files are attached as below (They are pretty basic!)

I logged an issue earlier with a silent fail (when it does nothing after importing), I'll add your file to that issue so we can double check it's the same cause.

I'm not getting artifacts when resizing the excel file, any chance of a short video demonstrating this?

Thanks for the reports

Added screen Shot
Same Process as above stretch the table object and this is the result

Do you get this if you create a new table ?

Sorry about delay Windows interfering as usual..!

Just checked with new File and new table(any size) Worked fine but when you add/place a table (Excel)...the initial response is as the image. 
So
Place Excel file/Click on screen/let it populate then I was stretching bottom middle node /then drag...and I get an artefact each time..It does no stay on screen if you keep moving the table around...not a big issue..just a bit weird!..but looks to be associated with import xlsx 

Same when you drag and drop (OneDrive)....but GDocs locks up Publisher!
