Does anybody have it happen where every so often the pointer in Excel becomes decalibrated? You click into a cell with your pointer, and then another cell is selected. It could be like 10 cells away. This is only happening in Excel. The pointer doesn't lose calibration anywhere else. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Expand/collapse the ribbon and it will fix it

It's a UI call that breaks - happens only in new versions of Excel 365

Yes I freaking hate it! My guess is it’s a memory issue, I only encounter it when I have a ton of workbooks open. Usually I just use the arrow keys to scroll “off screen” and then the view resets

Happens to me - just quit out and re open

I thought it was just me being too inept to operate a keyboard and mouse 😂

Thanks for asking this. I feel less dumb now.

I am not an Excel or tech expert, but has anyone contacted Microsoft or a help desk.

Many years ago I had an issue with a program and contacted a help desk after many attempts of correcting the issue he said it was a “hiccup”. He said mam it is a computer program then end up with hiccups.

I also think as with anything massed produced defective items come off the line

Hold ctrl and scroll your mouse wheel up or down to zoom in or out. Zooming in or out will fix it without you having to close and reopen the sheet. Super annoying.
