BUG: Two in-cell dropdown menus in one cell;crashes on attempt to fix

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: Power PC I created a worksheet in which several cells contain in-cell dropdown menus that refer to the same list.

Recently, after saving, I noticed that one of these cells contained 2 dropdown menu tabs. Either of them can be used to alter the contents of the one cell. This appeared to happen spontaneously; there was no merging of cells or changing of validation criteria at any point on my part.

The second dropdown tab appears within the cell and obscures the contents.

I have tried to remove validation settings for the cell so that I can reset them. When I do this, the original dropdown tab disappears and the "bug tab" stays. When I click on that, excel crashes. This has happened several times already.

I have also tried copying one of the other pulldown cells and pasting it over the bad one. No dice. The bug tab remains.

How can I fix this without scrapping a fairly complex worksheet that I put a lot of work into and starting over from scratch? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

It looks like an interesting issue, and I'd be happy to further investigate it. Can you please send me ([email protected]) a copy of your workbook? You can remove all other data on the workbook, and only leave the dropdown cell.

Thanks,
