- When enabled, the Scroll Lock feature will prevent the arrow keys from moving between rows and columns in any direction. It also prevents the current selection from being scrolled.
- When it is disabled, the arrow keys move you between the cells in any direction. However, when the feature is enabled, the cells are selected one row up or down.
If the status bar does not show the Scroll Lock status, it is most likely not displaying the correct text. To check if the issue still exists, type the word Scroll Lock again and see if it shows up.
