Sorry for the poor summary. I couldn't think of a good one that conveyed this concisely.
In Excel 2010, when moving across an Excel spreadsheet, NVDA is periodically deciding that you haven't actually moved. It will read the cell you just left instead of the cell you arrived at and will continue to insist that you are on the cell you just left in every way. It seems to detect that you tried to move, as it does reread the cell. I haven't been able to narrow this down to a specific procedure. Sometimes, it doesn't happen. Sometimes, it's so bad that you can only effectively read every other cell. It isn't a specific spreadsheet, and it happens on both my computers. For me, this happens with 2013.2 as well as the next branch. I'm using Excel a lot for college, and this periodically renders it unusable. Restarting NVDA sometimes helps, but sometimes does nothing.
