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 ...

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?)
