As this disgusting company still refuses to fix it, I'm adding a note here with one of the quickest ways to fix it while you're working:
- Set your Excel window to almost full size (so it's fully useable) with the icon in the top right.
- Save/edit/save - it seems to need more than just one save to 'remember' the window size.
- When the issue occurs, you can just click maximise then adjusted window with the same icon (or vice-versa if you start with maximised window).
Using this method, you can reset the cursor with only two clicks. It's slightly faster than my usual method of a quick up/down scroll, though that method is OK too.
