Excel will not let me click into cells or incorrect cell is selected randomly
A quirk I found is that selection of cells or event specifically selected cell content will "sometimes" not work correctly. It seems, at least in my experience, due to the fact that I utilize multiple screens. If I work in the excel file on the "primary" monitor, I have no issues, but if I am working on excel in an "extended" monitor, then the issue appears. And FYI, I use a Logi MX Mechanical keyboard and logi M720 mouse all running on a laptop (closed lid) with a touchpad. I do disable the touchpad when an external mouse is attached. Hope this helps someone.
So I'm back, having not had this issue for ages, this week I have had nothing but this cell issue every day on different sheets. I have to used the directional pad to get to the cell I want to select as by using the mouse, it jumps to the cell next to. Having said that, I do use two monitors and I wonder if you are on to something there??
- Thanks for this. As it happens, I started an Excel (ironically) log today, to track occurrences and try to find a cause. And tonight, I started a test using the laptop on its own, which I will continue tomorrow. I need the big screen / dual screens for my work, but at least if we prove this is a factor, then we can advise these MS clowns about it.
