    mweaver77 I've found the reason for the issue i have been facing but i haven't found out why this has suddenly become a problem. Obviously an update of some kind as more and more users have been reporting this issue.

     

    The issue for me is down to hidden rows and their row heights.

    I found that the hidden rows at the bottom of the worksheets all had a height of 0px. Un-hiding these rows and changing their height fixed the issue.

     

    These spreadsheets are generated from a template and nothing has changed with them for several months but suddenly the hidden rows are causing an issue.

typicalalex1The unhide/ row height solution does work, but just to let everyone know there doesn't seem to be an issue at all when using Office 2013 - scroll works just fine.

Looks like something changed in newer verions of Office (I'm using 365).
