Don't know why that sometime the mouse stick on the whole spreadsheet or form when use the mouse to highligh cells or area. The mouse will hightlight the everything. Changed the mouse but still have the problem. Please help.
 
If it's what I think, it can sometimes be stopped by doing a CTRL+A (select all). It should affect all programs though if it's what I think (which is one of the accessibility options, which for some reason don't stop when you turn them off, might well be caused by holding down shift for 8 seconds and is called FilterKeys).

Hope this helps
