Hard to select first worksheet tab
 

When you click on the icon in the upper left of a window a box appears with:
Restore
Move
Size
Minimize
Maximize
Close
With Windows 7 the box also appears when clicking in the lower left of a
window. That is the same area as the first worksheet tab making it very
difficult to click it. Is there a solution to the problem?

Dennis -

Are you using a right-mouse click instead of a left-mouse click?

I have the same problem. I am left clicking but it does seem like it is the box that appears when you right click. Problem only occurs on the first worksheet tab and not any other tabs

This has to be the most frustrating thing about the Excel 2007 - I
have recently upgraded and am prepared to be patient with the radical
differences, the ribbons etc - but this one thing is a real ****-off.
I am now creating a blank worksheet and parking it at the left end of
the tab bar so I don't have to but up with this crap - but when the
tab bar bets full? the navigation buttons on the extreme left of the
tab bar behave the same way?
Hello MS - are you there?

Are there any fixes out there?

I've been having the same problem. Can't find anything about it except this
thread. Glad to know it's not me. I had hoped I could somehow reset my mouse,
but I haven't found a solution yet.

Since this problem is so sporadic and infrequent perhaps the cause is
your mouse driver or video adapter driver?
