Do you have any merged cells, or does this happen in a new, blank sheet too?

When I am selecting a single cell or column, I get that cell or column and
the two cells or columns to the left of the selection also. I only want to
select one cell or column at a time and can't get that accomplished except by
arrowing to another cell. I've had no luck with columns. This seems to now
be a default setting and I would like to turn it off or reset it.
