Problem

When there are very tall cells in Microsoft Excel, trying to scroll via mouse or even via scrollbar (clicking on "<-" "->" pointers) just jumps below to the next cell, hiding the bottom content of the large cell in question. Is there an option to have Excel scroll smoothly? So far I found only one way - click middle button on mouse - and scroll smoothly by moving mouse aside.

Fix for: How do you view the bottom of really tall cells in Excel?

Low Risk

This is more of a design flaw in Excel than a bug. It's definitely a usability problem as it is super easy to scroll past a cell with it basically never showing in the view. As much as I hate to suggest this (I hate this feature) you can middle-drag to scroll smoothly. Once you release/click again/move the mouse over top of the origin, Excel will snap the top of the view again. This same problem is present in Office 2010 under Windows 7.
