Why is there a thick dark box around the formula bar in Excel?
Or, have you never noticed it?

This brand new feature is annoying half of all Excellers. It all depends on how you edit a formula.
I edit it by pressing F2 and editing right in the cell.
But apparently a lot of people still click up here in the Formula Bar.
Now we got those big freaking dark box around the whole thing.
How do you make it go away? You can't make it go away.
What's going on? It's something called the F6 Loop.
It's an accessibility feature that jumps around the screen when you press F6.
First, press the F6 and down here, the Sheet Tabs.
Next press - The Name Box. Next press: Task Pane.
Next press: the Status Bar. Next press: the Ribbon tabs.
No one knows about the F6 loop. Adding these boxes will help people realize which part is the active part. But the F6 Loop should never include the formula bar. Why did they add the box there?
