Glitch issue: Data Showing up in Incorrect Cells

I've got one fairly large worksheet. There are no formulas in this worksheet. A number of cells contain large amounts of text. The spreadsheet is set to about 49% scale in page layout, printing in landscape on 11x17. Some of the cells are near the maximum printable size. Here's the weird part...

Some cells start off showing the correct text, but the last couple of lines will be wrong. The words that show up at the end are actually the last words from a completely different cell.

Oddly enough, when I double-click in the cell, all the text goes back to normal. I can then click outside of the cell, and it stays normal. But as soon as I scroll away from those cells on the screen, and then come back, things are all haywire again.

I have discovered an extremely inefficient work-around for this problem. If I insert a row, and then merge cells for the problem-cell, the text stays the way it's supposed to. This is, however, too time-consuming a solution to be viable. If anyone can suggest an alternate solution, or at least explain the source of the problem, I would be most thankful indeed. Thank you in advance for your time.

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
I just tried altering the Word Wrap settings...no luck. I had the cells set to Word Wrap from the start. I also had the cells formatted to Autofit Row Height.
