Default trouble with seeing formula in formula bar

hi -
I have a large spreadsheet (excel for mac 2004) -- when i move within
the various cells of the file, the formula bar does not update to
reflect the current cell that I am in. it remains locked on a prior
formula. I can sometimes "trick" it to work by clicking in a cell and
hitting return - that seems to do the job for a short period of time,
but inevitably the problem reoccurs. I have also confirmed that my
Calculations are set to Automatic.

I started noticing this problem after I imported external data (from a
csv file) and turned on the 'refresh' feature. I have no idea if this
is causing the problem.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

PS there are a number of array formulas in the workbook -- don't know
if that is at all related.
