Default Cursor sometimes not resting on the selected cell

I am frequently getting a problem where the cursor does go to the cell I have just selected. It is often on a row two rows up. To correct the problem, I move to another worksheet and then back again. The cursor is then on the correct cell.
I see this problem has been reported before (for several years in fact), but obviously it still persists. I am using the latest version of Excel in Office 365 in Windows 11 (on a 4K monitor).



Anyone else still having this problem or is aware of it?

It may not be an Excel problem at all. The culprit could be your moue driver - or even your display driver. Try ensuring both are up-to-date.

I suppose its possible, but all my drivers are up to date. Other people have reported this problem going back to 2019 I think. Also, if it was a mouse or display driver problem, I don't think the cursor would be on a cell in another row. It would likely be somewhere not aligned to the excel cells as it would not know anything about the cells.
Pretty sure it is an excel problem.
