I use Excel 2007 on 2 different computers in 2 different office. Both
computers get automatic updates. I can't identify when, but in the past
couple weeks, my F2 key not longer works. It does not append data, nor does
it "trace" the formula in my in my cell. Is this a known bug with a
scheduled fix soon? Thanks.

Does your keyboard have a F-lock key? Some wireless keyboards have a F-lock key similar to the scroll-lock or num-lock. Have you recieved a new keyboard recently?

F2 works perfectly in Excel 2007. It opens the cell for editing and in doing
so, highlights any other cells referenced in a formula in the active cell
with colored lines ("range finders")
The fault must lay elsewhere

I had it happen recently that my F2 key did not work, and I just got a new wireless keyboard by Logitech and did not realize there is an "F Mode" key on it. I must of accidently hit this and it switched my function keys from "standard" to "enhanced". Could this be what happened to you? Probably not on two computers though.
