Problem Description:
Taskpanes of an add-in may have different height in Excel Online, as a consequence, content may be hidden on the bottom.
My Environment:
System: windows 10
Browser: Chrome
How to Reproduce:
Open Excel Online in chrome, then open two addin taskpanes first (for example: Script Lab).
hide them all, then click to open any one of them, you can see the shown taskpane's height is 660px. the hidden one's height is 770px.
(In the above picture, for distincting the height difference, I hide all the taskpanes -> open Taskpane 1 -> show Taskpane 1 in the end.)
following Step 1, don't hide the opened taskpane, just click the tab of the hidden taskpane and let it show, you will see the height of two taskpane all become 710px, which is beyond our visual height (it should be 660px).
(In the above picture, to distinguish the height difference, I hide all the taskpanes -> then open Taskpane 2 -> open Taskpane 1 -> show Taskpane 1 in the end.)
As you can see in these two pictures, the height difference leads to content overflow in Picture 2 on the bottom, the footer disappears.
I don't know how to write my addin's css to let it work as normal. Even in the Script Lab official add-in, it's still a problem.
It seems that the problem does not come from Excel add-ins; it should be fixed in Excel Online. Could any one give some help? Thanks very much!
This indeed seems to be a bug in the Excel Online platform (and we have a tracking bug for it in Script Lab as well, https://github.com/OfficeDev/script-lab/issues/382#issuecomment-444013605). Let me ping some folks on that team to see if there is an update on this...

Its very strange that the small sheet navigation buttons (those look like small arrows) in the lower left of windows, either remain fully grayed/unavailable (when workbook is of 2-3 sheets only), or let me navigate only to a few limited sheets (when its more than 3-4 sheets).
Scroll lock is also off.
I'm on windows 11 and am using licensed version of MS Office 2021. Though I am using Asap Utilities add on, but I've also experimented by turning the same off (i.e. no addons).
Can anybody pls help as to what's going on (google didn't help).
All credit of this answer goes to the comment (answer) written by #prema
copy paste:
"It is greyed out when you see all tabs and no more are hidden on the left or right."
I don't mind the "Chart Area" tooltip showing when I hover my mouse over an actual chart, but the tooltip is displaying on sheets where there are no charts. It seems like Excel is showing tooltips for hidden sheets even when I am on a sheet with no charts.
How can I disable this in Excel or VBA? I have tried the following:
Excel: File -> Options -> Advanced -> Untick "Show chart element names on hover"
VBA: Application.ShowToolTips = False
I also don't see any property of the chart that I could change that would suppress tooltips.
In Excel 365 (version 2005) I have found a solution (for charts and most other annoying recurring tooltips I came across at least):
Go to Options -> Advanced -> Chart, untick 'Show chart element names on hover'
I couldn't find this anywhere else online, so I thought I'd share, even though this post is somewhat old now.
Might be different or not available for older Excel versions, I'm not sure...
You can turn of chart screen tips in the following way (with Excel 2019)
File -> Options -> Advanced -> Chart
then uncheck "Show chart element names on hover" and "Show data point values on hover"
I re-installed Office and the problem disappeared.
I tried reproducing the problem in other workbooks, but I only ever got the problem in a particular workbook, and the problem persisted in that workbook even if I saved it with a new name. I re-installed Office a few days ago and have not experienced the problem since.
To my knowledge, this question hasn't been asked before.
If it has, then sorry for the redundance.
I am using Windows 10 and Excel 2016. What I want to do is :
When I open Excel, a green pop-up window is displayed for a few seconds, showing "Office 365", the Microsoft logo, and a loading menu.
Question > Do you think this menu can be removed, or replaced by some other image ?
Thanks a lot !
Best Regards
the menu can be removed: go to options excel -> accessibility (above advanced) -> startscreen...
We have an excel add-in that has generated it's own tab (for years - since at least Excel 2007) and put it's icons in place -
But now we are trying to make it work with Excel 2016 and have into a strange one
Instead of putting it in out custom tab named 'ourTabName" and putting in large icons, it is installing in a tab called "Add-ins" and using small icons.
Does anyone know if something changed with 2016, and how we fix this?
I am seeing buttons disappear throughout Office programs - does anyone know why this may be happening? The first screenshot below is the VBE window when it first opens - if I drag a toolbar to a new location, all of its icons appear, but as soon as the mouse hovers over a button, the image disappears (though the button can still be clicked).
Other times when I open the VBE window, though, all of the buttons display correctly and do not disappear when the mouse cursor moves over them (not sure why this happens sometimes).
The other place I have noticed buttons disappearing is in the popup dialogs that appear when you copy/paste, for example. The buttons and drop-down choices exhibit the same behavior - some images are gone from the start (i.e. the initial pop-up button) and some disappear when the mouse moves over them (the dropdown choice buttons).
I also have this problem quite frequently. My research turned up things like "print = true in the properties" (which I usually don't want), "take focus on click", etc. etc. The only thing I've found that works 100% for me (whether right, wrong or indifferent) is to do the following with each button.
Private Sub CommandButton10_Click()
'__SEARCH FOR SOMETHING BY NAME__
With Me.CommandButton10
.Left = 860.5
.Top = 47.25
.Width = 50.25
.Height = 25.5
End With
'The rest of your code goes here..
End Sub
I know it's a pain to do it this way, and every time you click a button it
resets itself to the position, but I haven't lost a button since I started doing this. Now I do every button I use like this. I too would accept a "proper" fix if someone could come up with one. Hope this helps a little.
I am using an excel 2003 file but running it in excel 2007. I have an issue where suddenly ALL the macro buttons (about 25) disappeared on one of the tabs in my spreadsheet. Macros in the other tabs are not affected. The macros disappear only from the one tab. After several years of having to restore from a master file and update the data, I tried moving the macros (and changing the size slightly) that were on line 1 of the sheet (there are also macros further down the sheet and in different rows) so that they no longer touched the bottom of line 1 and have not had an issue now for 2 weeks. (The issue was happening every day the file was used). I think I suddenly stumbled upon a cure, but time will tell.
I am using excel 2003 on Windows 7. On my laptop left side USB drive G:/ needs something in the root section or all of my Buttons and checkboxes disappear. This happens to all routines written in the last 10 years.
Excel is installed on the C: drive and all files are run and saved there.
My removable drive letters got switch around and so my buttons disappeared when touched and then all of them. I manually set the drive letter of the USB drive back to G:\ and everything appeared as normal with just a few days of panic. A new USB stick in G: will also cause the problem, so whatever is in the root of the old stick I copy over to the new stick. Have not figured out what excel is looking for on the G: drive that causes the images to not show up. I have been to this forum hoping to find an answer over the years so hope this works for someone else.
