单击/激活ActiveX控件会锁定Excel单元格

Question

I am encountering a small difficulty with an excel file I am working on. When moving from one sheet to another, the new activated sheet is sometimes locked in that sense that I can't make keyboard inputs. This seems to be the consequence of a interacting with a combobox or a listbox.

The issue also arises when I first click on the control and then try to change the content of the unlocked cell of the protected sheet. When the sheet is unprotected, the issue does not arise.

This seems to be resolved when I add this code on the control lostfocus event

debug.print selection.locked

Do ActiveX controls interfer with sheet protection or keyboard input (I can still use the dropdowns of those cell, select them with the mouse, etc.) Any clue of how to resolve this without adding this mysterious line? Thanks for your help!

If you have the formula bar hidden just turn it visible. I know it sounds wierd but it worked for me.
