How do I select onlu one cell at a time?
 

I know this sounds foolish but whenever I left click once on a cell a range
of cells are automatically selected in a random direction. I can remedy by
holding the left mouse and moving in the opposite direction of the selected
range but it's a pain.

Has anyone seen this or know of a fix?

Try touching the f8 key to unstick or see if your shift key is sticking or
tap your mouse wheel or beat the hell out of your mouse.

Most often caused by hitting the F8 key and putting yourself into "Extended
Mode".

If you see EXT on status bar hit F8 again to clear.

Another fix can be tapping, quite vigorously, the wheel on your wheelie-mouse a
few times.
