Issue reported multiple times for several years:
When selecting a cell in Excel, the cell selected is in a different location to where the user's cursor is. Issue leads to massive amount of lost productivity and causes serious errors in data.
Reported multiple times recently, no response from MS other than to report it to Feedback Hub (again).
The bug renders Excel totally unfit for purpose, for customers paying for it.
The bug should be fixed immediately, treated as high priority.
Steps already tried:
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data

This issue has nothing to do with the touchpad. It has to do with the X and Y coordinates of the cells in relation to the mouse pointer.
Coming up for a year since I raised this, and I was by no means the first, Microsoft must be able to isolate the point at which this happened, and analyse the changes which caused it.
It is absolutely disgusting.
Forum posts again abandoned by Microsoft.
The issue continues to disrupt me every day and has done for well over a year now.
The issue causes me genuine stress in my work every day.
I think Microsoft are an utterly disgusting organisation.
Microsoft continue to abandon the case. If I could take legal action, I would do.
