Scroll Inactive Window Doesn't Work for Excel 2016
However, it looks like it doesn't work between 2 excel sheets, which I find weird. I'll look into it further and post any updates here.
To define the problem further: when you have two Excel windows open, and you have your cursor in either one of them, it scrolls the last clicked window of Excel. But if you have your cursor in any other window, it scrolls the window under the cursor. I've tried opening multiple instances of File manager and Google Chrome, and neither of these apps have that issue.
The problem keeps changing. Sorry to the future persons looking at me replying to myself in this thread, but I'm hoping this will be useful to someone.
When there are three windows of excel open, two of them work with the scroll inactive window, but one doesn't. It seems to change based on when they were opened, or possibly where they were opened from. I'll look into this more, this is the weirdest problem I've run into in Windows 10 before.
When there are only two windows of Excel open and neither is the active window, it scrolls the Excel window that was last active when you hover over either of them.
