Cursor 'sticking' to cells
I get an intermittent problem in Excel whereby the cursor 'sticks' to one
cell, and any attempts to move the mouse only result in highlighting adjacent cells. Clicking the mouse doesn't 'detach' the cursor, and while in this state, the mouse can't be moved outside the worksheet cells area to close or minimise the worksheet, or to invoke a menu function or click a button on a toolbar. In fact, the only way out of it seems to be Ctrl/Alt + Del to bring up the Windows Task Manager then 'tab' to Excel to 'end task' whereupon Excel crashes, after a message to say it cannot be closed. Re-opening the program doesn't fix it, you have to re-boot. Why does this happen, how do I avoid it and how (if at all) can the program be safely recovered without a complete re-boot? Thanks in advance. |
