Default Sheet Reference is not working

So I seem to have a rather unique bug.
When I try to create a formula with an off sheet reference excel does not
behave form me as it should.

Scenario
1) type "=" in some cell to initiate formula
2) Click on a separate sheet
3) Click an arbitrary cell
4) Enter

What I expect to happen is that the cell original cell gets populated with
"=<sheet name!<Cell"

What actually happens is the formula either gets populated in the cell on
the sheet where I clicked in step 3.

In the formula cell detail at the top as I can see the formula being defined
correctly.
If I manually enter in the information the formula will work
If I copy a formula from page to page it will work

The issue here is that this is a really painful bug because I can no longer
create simple off sheet references without explicitly typing them in.

I can't understand what setting has gone wrong here to cause this

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
