Mouse is dragging once clicked on cell

I have the same problem as Andre. When I click on a cell
it sticks and the only way to stop it is to close the
program. Need urgent help

A common cause of this is that you are in "Extended" or "Add" mode.

If you see "EXT" or "ADD" down on the status bar try hitting F8 key a couple
of times.

F8 will will toggle you in and out of Extended mode. SHIFT + F8 will put you
in "ADD" mode.

If you are using a wheel-mouse tap the wheel a couple times.

I had the same problem and have been struggling for days with it. Tapping the
wheel a couple of times as you suggested works. A thousand thank yous!!!

Thanks for the feedback. Always nice to know what does or doesn't do the
trick.
