What the fuck is up with Excel?

I know someone on here must know the answer to this....

you know how you F2 into a cell's formula, highlight a cell reference, hit F5 and enter and it automatically jumps to that cell? Then you hit escape and it goes back to the original cell with the formula in it? Well for some reason if I highlight A626 in the formula and hit F5 then Enter it automatically jumps to 626:626... highlighting the entire row... defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do... which is quickly look at where the formula is coming from.

I don't need any other suggestions on auditing my formulas, I know how to audit them. The question is for this method in particular... anyone know what the fuck is going on here?

The PhantomExcel 2007 here, get the same issue: Formula @ A626 is "=C619+E619+G619", in reference I get "WU:WU" if I select C619

I get the same issue in Excel 2007. If you do A619+B619+C619+D619 in A626 and highlight+F5 any other cell besides C619, it works fine, yet C619 sends you to column WU. Very strange, guessing a random program gitch as I can't replicate it with other cells.
