I have encountered a rather unusual problem with Excel 3.0; I'm
wondering if anyone else has discovered this.

The problem:  Normally, if you are selecting a range of cells by the
"click-and-drag" method, you can go beyond the range of the visible
screen just by dragging beyond the screen; the screen will then scroll
up, down, left, or right as appropriate.  Using this, you can select
very large blocks of cells.    

When I do this under 2.2a, it works fine.  Under 3.0, dragging to the
right, up, or down works well, but dragging left has no effect; you come
to the edge of the screen, and the display does not scroll.  So, for
example, if column "H" is the left-most column on your screen, and you
try to drag left, you will no be able to select any cells in column "G"
or below; the screen does not scroll left.

I hope I described the problem well enough.

The system:  Mac IIci, 8MB Ram, 80MB HD, System 7.0, Disinfectant 2.4
init, no other inits.
