Horizontal Scroll Issue
Since upgrading to Office 365 for my PC, I am encountering a display issue when using the horizontal (tilt) scroll function on my mouse. When scrolling horizontally the displayed columns will suddenly reset to before I started scrolling, but the highlighted cell position remains the same, and selecting a cell will select a cell on where is "should" be and not what is currently displayed.
While this easily solvable by quickly scrolling up or down to "reset" the view to where it should be, it is annoying to do while trying to work.
I am hoping for a solution to this.

May be worth trying this:
1. Disable Tilt-Wheel Scrolling
o In your mouse settings, look for an option to disable horizontal scrolling or tilt-wheel behavior.
o This can often be done through the mouse control panel or manufacturer software.
2. Switch Excel View Mode
o Go to View > Page Break Preview, then switch back to Normal. This can reset display glitches.
3. Unfreeze Panes
o If panes are frozen, horizontal scrolling may behave oddly. Try View > Freeze Panes > Unfreeze Panes.
4. Disable Hardware Graphics Acceleration
o Go to File > Options > Advanced > Display, and check "Disable hardware graphics acceleration". This often resolves rendering bugs.
5. Use Keyboard Shortcuts Instead
o Try Alt + Page Up or Alt + Page Down for horizontal scrolling. These bypass mouse input entirely.
6. Reset Scroll Bars
o If the scroll bar size or behavior is off, you can reset the used range of the worksheet. Instructions are available here.
