Hard to select first worksheet tab

[Dennis Marks]

When you click on the icon in the upper left of a window a box appears with:
Restore
Move
Size
Minimize
Maximize
Close
With Windows 7 the box also appears when clicking in the lower left of a
window. That is the same area as the first worksheet tab making it very
difficult to click it. Is there a solution to the problem?

Dennis -

Are you using a right-mouse click instead of a left-mouse click?

 

[Ross]

I have the same problem. I am left clicking but it does seem like it is the box that appears when you right click. Problem only occurs on the first worksheet tab and not any other tabs

This has to be the most frustrating thing about the Excel 2007 - I
have recently upgraded and am prepared to be patient with the radical
differences, the ribbons etc - but this one thing is a real piss-off.
I am now creating a blank worksheet and parking it at the left end of
the tab bar so I don't have to but up with this crap - but when the
tab bar bets full? the navigation buttons on the extreme left of the
tab bar behave the same way?
Hello MS - are you there?

Are there any fixes out there?

I've been having the same problem. Can't find anything about it except this
thread. Glad to know it's not me. I had hoped I could somehow reset my mouse,
but I haven't found a solution yet.

Since this problem is so sporadic and infrequent perhaps the cause is
your mouse driver or video adapter driver?

I have this problem too and it is so annoying. It is staring to bug me
big time. Anybode heard of a fix?

Thanks Dennis for posting this. I have been looking as well and can't find any good information on this. I will continue to research and share anything I find.

I have had this issue on two different brand laptops but the common item between them was Win 7 and Office 07 and now 10.

Some of the users at my company are experiencing this issue as well. Most of our laptops are the same model,same OS, and same version of Excel.

We're running Windows 7 with Office 2007. The problem is sporadic and not every machine is experiencing it, but it's the same menu that Dennis referenced.

Has anyone found a fix yet? I've been combing the Internet for weeks to no avail.
