i see what your saying about F8 but thats not it. the
cells are selected as you move your cursor not by clicking
one cell then moving and clicking another. thanks for the
suggestion

Hi Jason,

I have researched this problem as it occurred to a couple of wor
colleagues and it appears that the most likely offender is your mous
driver - particularly if you are using a wheel mouse.

Since updating the mouse drivers for my colleagues, they have no
experienced this problem.

My suggestion is to ensure you have exactly the right driver for you
mouse and OS.

Hope this helps.
