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?)
- jadewinterNov 24, 2022Copper ContributorJust 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!
- AZRogerNov 29, 2022Copper ContributorI did the SaveAs to get to the Excel 97-2003 format. I got lots of warning about functions "I used" that might work differently. Doesn't look like it did. And I still have the scrolling issue. Doesn't matter which half has the cell that rolls off the screen. This is bad.
- Dubbs210Nov 13, 2022Copper ContributorI 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.
