    Angry Ctrl+C Disables Scrolling

    Good day, gurus and fellow avid forum readers!

    I do a lot of copy/pasting, often with ranges of data that exceed what’s visible on screen without scrolling up and down (~37 rows at 100% zoom,) but only recently I’ve noticed that after using the Ctrl+Shift+[arrow key] to navigate my ranges and hitting Ctrl+C to copy it, the scroll functionality is disabled and even moving the cursor doesn’t cause the view to snap to its location. If that’s not clear, e.g.: if I click into cell A1, hit Ctrl+Shift+[down arrow] to highlight all data down to cell A200, then press Ctrl+C to copy it, I’m suddenly unable to use my mouse wheel to scroll back to the top (say to paste the data into B1-B200) and pressing an arrow key does not snap to the cursors position even though it is moving, I just can’t see it; my view stays locked down by A200 until the clipboard is cleared either by pasting blindly or pressing Esc.

    Is this normal behavior or is there something wrong here that can/should be fixed? I find it hard to believe I’m just now noticing if this is normal as I copy/paste slightly more often than I blink on a given day, and it’s just annoying enough that I imagine I would have raised this stink long ago.

    If you have Scroll Lock on, pressing an arrow key won't move the cursor but will scroll the worksheet - but that doesn't seem to be your exact problem. I can't reproduce the issue so I don't think it's normal behaviour; I have 2010, so it's possible that it's a new 'feature' - but unlikely I think.
    I know that doesn't help solve your problem (sorry ), but at least you know it's likely to be something specific which has changed.

    I recently started a new job so am a bit busy and may not reply quickly. Sorry - it's not personal - I will reply eventually.
    If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
    If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
    You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.

    That's another issue; it's hit or miss whether or not it happens. I started to upload a workbook, but since it's not a consistent issue, there's really no point.

    Thanks for considering and trying to help, though! Much appreciated!
