When
I select a cell, the box does not properly sit over the cell I have selected. If I scroll up the top and scroll back down again, sometimes it corrects itself.

Click the Smile button in Excel to send a report to Microsoft so they will know there is at least one Mac still exhibiting the behavior.

For now 15.26 is newest version In a few days will be 15.27.
