Odd green high light on some cells.

I was trying to grab some cells in a group. I held down FN, Control, Or Option trying to do this. When I did it turned some cells light green. I have checked conditional high lighting. Noting is set. It is like a ghost setting of some sort. I can't get it to turn off. If I delete a column or row, when I bring it back it is green again. See picture. Please help.

I assume Techlover14 is making a joke.


If you hover your mouse over a cell and then hold down the Option key, it will make cells green just like that but only temporarily until you hit some other key or click the mouse button. Try hovering your mouse over that white cell at the intersection of the green cells, hold down Option for two seconds, then release Option and see if that clears it up. Or hover over some other cell and hold down Option. I hope something like that gets it unstuck.
