This is normal behavior.

The *last* selection you make is not shaded and this indicates that this is
the active cell.

I just started using excel 2007, when i select multiple ranges of cells
using
the control key, I can see the box surrounding the cells the first time,
however when selecting the second range of cells, I can't see the box
around
the cells, additionally there is just the box no shading to show the
selection, does anyone know of a way to change this?
