    ActiveX controls not clickable, ghost button appears

    I use a lot of spinbuttons and sliderbars directly in the worksheet to control interactive charts (the Form controls do not work as well for this, you can't hold down a spinnerbutton and see the chart change with a Form control).

    Sometimes when I open a workbook and click a spinnerbutton the spinnerbutton is dead but copy of the spinnerbutton appears a few cells up and to the left.

    Anyone else has experience with this?

    Yeah I heard that before that ActiveX is not working well on worksheets (in the past I have had the shrinking button/shrinking font problem,that bug must be 15 years old now, why doesn't Microsoft do anything?).

    Because of reasons mentioned in my first post I'm willing to take a battle agains these bugs (at least to some extent). Sometimes people have found workarounds to these bugs with extra code doing this and that. I'm willing to go down that road if it it can fix my controls.

    Unlike the shrinking font/button issues, the issue with the ghost buttons is new to me, it appeared after the most recent upgrade I think.
