White Cross Cursor
Palme_Palmer Perhaps you can upload a screenshot?

Sure. Though I am no longer diagnosing any issues. I was working, specifically, I selected a table, and pasted it as a jpg. Did some dragging and dropping, stepped away from desk, stepped back, and saw a cursor I found odd (the cross on the left image) and unfamiliar as the default cursor when just mouse over cell-field. I remembered the cursor as pictured on the right (an arrow).
Did some googling, and found people from 2021, and 2013, and even 2003 asking similar question without resolutions. I was sure something glitched on my computer. I then opened up another computer, and loaded up excel, cross was present. Finally I looked at random youtube tutorials spanning many years. The most rational conclusion seems like a glitch in my perception.
For what its worth, google sheets use an arrow when hovering over cell-field.
The OP describes what I describe, but the mac user which you requested a snapshot from may have been describing something else.
