Split Window Scrolling not working
As of today when I scroll with a split window it is scrolling my entire page instead of just the portion of the window I am on.
- I split my excel sheet horizontally only (top/bottom half)
- Click on a cell in the top half and scroll with my mouse wheel (up/down) and the bottom window also scrolls
- Click on a cell in the bottom half and scroll with my mouse wheel (up/down) and it works perfectly by only scrolling the bottom window
Basically, my bottom window is always scrolling in split view.
Anyway know how to fix this?

Let me add to this chain, to try and get some attention. I have been having the same problem, it's NEW, hasn't ever happened before and is VERY FRUSTRATING. PLEASE FIX.
GregGT Adding myself to the chain. Exact same problem.
Dubbs210 , I'm having exactly the same issue, and it seems to occur when the selected cell scrolls out of the view of the split window. Otherwise, scrolling behaves normally for me.
I would also add the following (seemingly related) bugs to the list:
- The GUI behave unpredictably when I'm trying to construct formulas that reference cells across the different split windows. GUI seems to misread mouse input as indicating a range.
- Also, I'm noticing that, at times, the GUI misinterprets the cell I'm pointing to ... I have to point the cell a row below to get the GUI to select the cell in the row I want. This last problem seems to clear up when I close out of everything/restart Excel/reboot.
It's my impression these bugs popped-up in the wake of an upgrade. My hunch is that the problem may be more OS-driven than Excel-driven, but I could be wrong.
Someone from MS needs to get right on this. How many frustrated Excel users are there out there right now seething with frustration?
Decades with Excel - this scrolling anomaly cuts into my time so much I may need to hold my nose and transfer this one worksheet to Google sheets. It's a most serious issue. (Related to Windows 11 upgrade?)
- Just copy saved and now use my worksheet as Excel 97-2003. The scrolling issue appears to have gone. Luckily I haven't lost functionality with this particular worksheet. So for the time being I'm OK, but......................... Good luck Microsoft!
- I am having both of your issues you added to this list! In fact, that's why I logged back into this community so I can post. It is driving me crazy when typing a formula and it selects like 20 rows.
