I have the same problem. Happens across all my excel files. It is not a problem when I first open the file but as I work on it for a bit the problem arises.

From reading comments of users here I conclude (1) I have the same problem and have tried most of the advice given so far without having eliminted the problem (2) I see this going on for over a year to people who seem to have more relevant knowledge and experience than I do (3) I must conclude it is unlikely I will find a solution short term
I need to work for a living and don't have time for this, so my plea for help from you all is:
please advise on best alternative to Microsoft Office, hopefully something allowing me to produce new documents that other Microsoft OFFICE users can open and work with, and with which I can open all my existing MS documents, not only EXCEL but WORD, POWERPOINT etc
Thank you

I think the issue for me is more frequent when I'm using my Extended monitor as well.
Just wanted to add my workaround.
I accept wherever it wrongly sends me when I click, then I move to the cell I actually want with my arrow keys.
