flying leap? double click boarder jumps me to other cells

Hello,
When I double click the top board of a cell I get moved up to the top of the spreadhseet, when I double click the bottom board of a cell I get moved down my spreadsheet. How do I turn this off?

    tom-65 This is an extraordinarily old problem with Excel, dating back to at least https://www.excelforum.com/excel-general/507226-when-i-doubleclick-in-excel-page-jumps-down-up.html.

    Here's https://web.archive.org/web/20201101093039/https://excel.uservoice.com/forums/304921-excel-for-windows-desktop-application/suggestions/33756367-allow-us-to-disable-double-click-to-move, from Microsoft's previous system for collecting user feedback, that accumulated 183 votes and some really wonderfully well-written heartfelt comments about the amount of mental anguish caused by this "feature".  I wish the Wayback Machine had a copy of all of the pages of comments instead of just the first page!
