An Excel spreadsheet containing any 'notes' (previously known as 'comments' in some earlier Excel versions) is slow to scroll up and down when holding down the up/down arrow keys. For example, even on a new workbook created as a blank workbook, after one 'note' is added (right-click, new note) in cell A1 the scrolling action becomes 'jumpy' - jumps 4 or five rows at a time. If the note is deleted then the sheet scrolls normally. Previously I had used Excel 2010 which did not have this problem. This has been tested on two machines. Win 10. Excel version 1903. Can anyone else reproduce this behaviour? Any solutions?
The same problem is apparent when adding comments (i.e. threaded comments, as distinct from "notes") but only where the comment has been 'posted'.
This has now been tested on three machines and the problem is there even when running Excel in Safe Mode. This problem (or something rather similar) seems to have also been experienced at here.

I received notification by email of an answer which apparently began: "I've had this exact problem for years now on excel 2016, even the older version without the threa..." This answer is not accessible in my inbox. If someone has deleted it please reinstate it as it appears to confirm that someone else has the same problem, which answers the first of my two questions. – Mike – 2019-05-13T08:55:01.100

It's useful for me to know whether other users have the same problem as a 'sanity check' to ensure that I had not misinterpreted the problem's symptoms. It's useful to know other users' operating system environments to help establish whether this is an application problem or not. It's useful to know other sufferers' application versions to establish whether the problem is unique to Excel 365. Whilst such info is not a solution it may provide insight which might lead to one. That said, I don't make Super User rules but will of course comply with them in future as expressed. – Mike – 2019-07-24T15:49:17.973
