Make ruler remain stationary. (stop ruler from stretching with cell resize)

Simple thing, I can't find any answers on the internet. I just want the ruler to stay perfectly still so when I resize things I can see how big they will be on the page. I do not have the margins marked as centered. I've tried the positioning to be 1 page, and to be automatic with no difference. I want to stretch a cell to be 2 inches big, and have that reflected on the rulers. That's it, thanks!

Thanks for responding. I think it's a glitch. I don't know why it is that almost every single project I work on has this issue - after a certain amount of formatting things just get wonky. Like alignment inversing, conditional rules simply not working. When I put things into a new workbook, suddenly all the problems stop. The ruler doesn't do the weird stretching thing in a fresh file. Sucks because of all the work in this sheet, but I gotta do what I gotta do. Restart and cross fingers.
