I'm going crazy over the jumping "feature" when double clicking a cell border in Microsoft Excel. Is there a way to disable it?

  • Some more detail would be helpful. Please explain what the "jumping feature" is? As it is, this is a very poorly worded question and difficult to understand what you are referring to or trying to accomplish.

It sounds like you are talking about the 4-direction arrow icon that appears when you hover over a cell border. When double-clicking on this, it will perform the equivalent of ctrl-arrow key (moving to last filled cell in that direction).

Yes, you can disable this (which will also disable the fill handle and dragging-dropping of cells):

Choose File->Options->Advanced-> In "Editing Options" section, uncheck "Enable Fill handle and cell drag-and-drop."
