Mouse Not Working on spreadsheet after running a macro

When some of my macros finish running, I cannot use the mouse on the spreadsheets. I can use the mouse for other applications and can use the excel ribbon - but not on any spreadsheets.

The curser works to move from cell to cell but not the mouse.

My only solution right now is quitting Excel and restarting.

Any suggestions?

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
I would post the code for one that is causing this issues for people to look at. I am not great with VBA but that would be something I would start with at least.

My code is (all variables are defined as Private in the module and all macros work) - just the mouse doesn't work when macros finish
Code:

you are calling a number of procedures, but I have no idea what is contained in them, which maybe where the mouse sleeps

Understood on having many procedures. Is there a method for figuring out where my mouse is sleeping? And then for waking it back up?

it might be plainly obvious if seen, otherwise know where it fails, and step through with F8 to identify much closer
