ShelaghW Hey everyone - I FOUND A SOLUTION!!! I had recently started using a feature called "text cursor indicator". It is under Settings->Ease of Access->Text Cursor. It's a neat feature that allows you to turn on a cursor indicator so it is easier to find where your cursor currently is. The indicator size and color can be customized as well. It's especially useful when editing Word documents. Anyway, I had the indicator turned on, and that's when I started having this Excel problem. When I turned it back off and restarted my machine, the problem went away!!
jmwilliams that didn't work for me.
The work around is to customize your toolbar to include Freeze Panes.
Freeze Panes also Unfreezes panes so its only the one button.
Unfreeze and page down works fine. Do what you have to do then freeze stuff again.
For me, the issue is that this is a program bug that should be fixed. It is a pain to be several screens down and have to turn off freeze panes to keep the cursor acting normally, then scroll back to the top to reset the freeze panes then scroll back down. Is there any way to get Microsoft engineers fixing this bug that they recently added to Excel?
