Answer 1

This version solved the problem.

Answer 2

Wow!! Nice find! Very true. Anything that's greater than 88% zoom will have this problem. Anything less than equal to 88% zoom and its fine for highlighting rows! For highlighting columns the problem remained all they way down to 50%, which is not useable.

Answer 3

Thank you! Rows started highlight at 60%, columns at 10% zoom... ( impossible to work :( )

At 87% columns highlights only the first column:

HI everyone, we have the same problem. When we launch the fisrt time Excel, there is no problem. But when we accept or not the new UI interface, we relaunch Excel and The problem appears.

Reduce the zoom to 30% works for us.

We are in VDI environnement (Citrix ,Windows 10, VMware)
