Excel will not let me click into cells or incorrect cell is selected randomly
Hi, This is an ongoing issue that I've been having for years across platforms, computers, versions of excel and workbooks. Basicially, one of two things happen: 1-I click on a cell but nothi...
A quirk I found is that selection of cells or event specifically selected cell content will "sometimes" not work correctly. It seems, at least in my experience, due to the fact that I utilize multiple screens. If I work in the excel file on the "primary" monitor, I have no issues, but if I am working on excel in an "extended" monitor, then the issue appears. And FYI, I use a Logi MX Mechanical keyboard and logi M720 mouse all running on a laptop (closed lid) with a touchpad. I do disable the touchpad when an external mouse is attached. Hope this helps someone.
Thanks for this. As it happens, I started an Excel (ironically) log today, to track occurrences and try to find a cause. And tonight, I started a test using the laptop on its own, which I will continue tomorrow. I need the big screen / dual screens for my work, but at least if we prove this is a factor, then we can advise these MS clowns about it.
