Design tables crashing in SW 2017

Design tables are not working properly in 2017.

If I "open design table in a new window", it will crash.  A work-around is to first open it within solidworks (not a separate excel window), *then* open it within excel the second time.

Many times (like 2 minutes ago), I forgot to do the workaround, and lost work.

Solidworks, PLEASE fix this.
