Try freezing the top row or the first column. This happened to me a lot too but what normally fixes it is freezing a row or column. I normally freeze the top row since my spreadsheets are always scrolling back up. Go to View > Freeze Panes > Freeze Top Row

I have the same issue. Freezing the top row works, but that is an obnoxious work around because I don't always want to freeze rows, but I will almost always be using copy/paste on all work I do. Seems like there should be another option to prevent the jumping around, especially if the freeze rows prevents this from happening.
