I find that clicking on an Excel cell activates that cell, even when (I think) I haven't double-clicked on it.
Is there a way to change the settings for how you activate a cell as opposed to selecting it?
By "activating", I mean that the cursor appears inside the cell for entering text. So if I'm pasting data and click on the cell, I want as the top of the paste range, the cell activates so that I can enter text.
I haven't noticed this issue historically while using Excel, so I am wondering if this might be a systems issue to do with my computer/Citrix environment, rather than a software issue.

Try starting excel in safe mode and see if it happens. If not, go back and disable add-ins. – Raystafarian – 2016-08-19T20:34:26.463
1The short answer, NO. Sounds like mouse settings. Try looking at your mouse "speed" on clicks. Also you might have set your mouse to double click with single click. I always use the F2 (Win shortcut for Edit-Cell) key because I dislike double-clicks. Have you done any remapping or AHK recently? – ejbytes – 2016-08-19T22:23:24.573
Thank you for the comments. These answers were correct and the replacement with a different mouse appears to have resolved the issue. I haven't encountered deteriorating performance of a mouse before, but I suppose it's possible. – Statsanalyst – 2016-09-16T19:55:38.093
