Hey all.
My copy of Excel 2013 is practically unusable now. Copying/pasting, autofit, formatting, copying formulas with the fill handle... everything causes Excel to hang and become unresponsive with no error message. The task manager is usually the only way to close it.
Doing something as simple as typing 1 2 3 and using the fill handle to extend the pattern is enough to cause it to crash. Or typing something and copy/pasting it to the cell next to it.
Have any of you seen this problem before? Thanks.
**MY FIX**:
This was as shot in the dark, but I started going through and manually disabling different options in the settings.

**The copy/paste pop-up menu was what was 'broken' for me.** I suggest if anyone is having frequent crashes when dragging formulas or copying/pasting, try disabling those related flair-esque features in the settings.
