Missing double-sided arrow (used to widen/shorten columns and rows)

[polarisking]

It's only happening on selected workbooks. Is there an option that perhaps is toggled off/on?


The symptom is straightforward: as I move the cursor horizontally across the column/row headings the cursor arrow doesn't change to the double-sided arrow as it crosses the border.


Any ideas?

Is the sheet protected?

Let me check. Even though I don't get the two sided arrow, I can double click the border and get the auto-sizing effect.

No, it's not protected. If I do protect the worksheet/workbook, the cursor changes to a thick down arrow. Weird!

Hi, polarisking!

That happens only with a particular workbook or with every workbook in that machine? Any chance of testing that file in other computers? Otherwise consider uploading it or a sample file.

Regards!
