Default Menu Jumping From Home To Other Options

Hello All,



Greetings and thank you for having me at your forum.

I'm on Windows10, Home and Office/Desktop version, 2019.

My issue with Word is this: I always keep the Menu options visible and always in "Home." Supposedly it's only supposed to go to another Menu option when you click on that option. But I often find the Menu jumping suddenly to Insert or Design or whichever, without my clicking on them.

I do notice that it usually seems to occur when I run the cursor over the menu area--not clicking on any buttons just running it over the area. I actually just made it happen--which I usually cannot do voluntarily--by running it over "find/replace." When I tried again it didn't work!

Thanks for any help.

A mouse wheel will change tabs.

Ah, so that's what's doing it? I'm probably tapping it or something when I move the mouse (cursor) up to save or do something else. Does that sound like it Charles?

Depending on what your actions are, the ribbon tabs can and do change.
If you insert a new table, two context sensitive tabs appear on the end of the ribbon and the Table Tools/Design tab is activated.
If you insert a picture, Picture Tools/Format appears and is activated.
I presume there are other innocuous events that cause ribbon tabs to change focus.

You can also change ribbon tabs by inadvertently pressing the Alt key and then a letter. For instance Alt followed by N will activate the Insert Ribbon tab.

If you are seeing the tab change as you mouse over the tabs then perhaps your hardware can be a factor. If you are using a touchpad or a mouse with a very light button it can be easy to click without noticing.
