Hello, Windows 10 with Excel 2016, both updated to the day. Animation in windows is disabled for better performance.

Issue: I select any number of cells / rows and copy the data, move to the new location and paste it. The selected cells / rows should get deselected automatically or at least when i press "Ctrl+D", but none of this options work and the cells / rows keep having to selection rectangle active.

Id disappears when i edit a cell, but when no editing in progress, the rectangle appears again.

This is what i'm talking about, the green interrupted rectangle remains in place, even after deselecting or pasting the data. It started to do this a few days back, i can't find an exact point of origin.

Is this an option, feature? or a bug?
