current cell always acts like I pressed a scroll lock button but the dell Inspiron has no scroll lock button.
I'm running Open Office Calc in Windows 10 home.
If I go into other programs I can maneuver the scroll wheel with normal results.
I contacted Dell support and they had me try Ctrl-S to no avail in Calc.

Re: current cell always locked scrolling
Welcome to the Forums.
If it just that one cell or is it the entire row?
If it's the entire row, then try Alt+W (Window) -> Freeze
If that is checked, selecting it will uncheck it.
If that is unchecked, I'm going to suggest you try Ctrl+Fn+S as I've experienced the Scroll lock function enabling/disabling with that sequence using other keyboards of the same layout as the Dell Inspirion, but not that specific make and model.

Re: current cell always locked scrolling
Ctrl-S is the Save shortcut key in the Calc application.
Maybe your file is huge, and it seems to "freeze" during the save procedure.

Re: current cell always locked scrolling
Thanks to RussellB & Zizi64 for responding
I have tried Ctrl-S and Ctrl-Fn-S and Alt-W without success
Let me clarify that I can open a new Spreadsheet, and find that whatever cell I arrow to, that cell is locked when I try to use the scroll wheel on the mouse.

Re: Current cell always locked scrolling
I think you mean: When you select a cell by mouse or cursor keys, this highlights the cell by showing the cell border as bold. If you then scroll using the mouse scroll wheel, the selection & highlighting does not move from that cell. This is normal behaviour. You will get the same effect if moving the displayed area by using the window slider bars.
Unlike Home/End/Page Up/Page Down or cursor left/right etc which will change the cell selected.
The downside is that any key depressions will change the original cell contents - letters/numbers and even such as Delete/Back erase!
The upside is that you can select a cell, scroll around to look at other cells and then scroll back to find the original cell highlighted.
(Helps if you have selected "Highlight selection in column/row headers" - Tools>Options>Open Office Calc>General).
