Can't use arrows (not scroll lock)

Copper Contributor

Hi, when I try to use the arrows within a cell to edit spelling and such it arrows over to the next cell instead. I have tried turning scroll lock on/off using the keyboard and the on-screen keyboard but this doesn't solve the issue. I am using Windows 11. I can't find an answer to this specific problem anywhere, since the usual fix seems to be the scroll lock.

To be sure - you stay on cell, press F2 (or double click), press any arrow key and it navigates you to another cell. Correct?

Yes, that is correct.
