cursor selecting cells locked on...
 
my cursor in excel is locked somehow and whenever i move the cursor it
highlights the cells. i can't click anything, i have tried multilple things.
I would like to know how to do this feature and how to disable it?

If you held the SHFT key down for a long while, you may have turned on Sticky
Keys.

Tap the SHFT key 5 times to release.

I still don't think that is it... somehow i think it has something to do with
the rolly scroller thing on the mouse...I was able to fix the problem by
clicking the roller, but i would like to figure out how i did it in the first
place... Any other suggestions?
