Hello

I have noticed especially when I open too many MS Office files, that when I point to a cell with my mouse and click, a cell well offset is actually selected. There seems to be an offset between the mouse pointer and the cell actually selected in Excel.

I suppose this is a bug, is anyone aware of it and know how to fix it?

Thanks!
 
I've had this issue in all input boxes since I started using excel 18 months ago. I've not found a fix yet. It can be 30+ characters. It's very annoying in named ranges editing and all such input types.
