When I enter text into Excel the cursor is not shown in the correct location it is either a little ahead when entering in the formula area at the top or a little behind when entering directly into a cell. Is this a common problem? Is there any solution? Problem only seems to be in Excel, Word is fine.

FIXED. The update to version 15.13.1 (150807) has resolved this issue for me.
You are preaching to the choir here. We all are users just like you. We agree that this is wrong and needs to be fixed. You must tell Microsoft, not us. Use the smiley face in the upper right of excel's menu bar, or place your vote here:
It might be Mac OS X, not Excel at fault. What version of Mac OS are you running?
This problem is largely resolved with version 15.15.
I use a magic mouse which allows for left, right scrolling -- cool. But why I het to upper left hand corner, why does the whole spreadsheet move from right side or top like it's attached to a rubber band -- not cool!!! This contrinbutes to the cursor problem above.

I have this issue; running El Capitan 10.11.1 and Excel 15.15 (151008).
