Arrows and Shortcut keys do not work when selecting cell ranges

When trying to add additional series to a X-Y Scatter
Chart, the arrow keys and shortcuts do not work to select
a cell range for the series "NAME", "X Values", or "Y
Values".

Details:
After Selecting to add a new series under
the "Chart" "Source Data" "Series" tab, I click the
colapse dialog button to the right of each "NAME", "X
Values", and "Y Values" box to select a range of cells for
each box.
The intermitant problem is that I can not use my arrow
keys or shortcuts to select a range of cells in the
worksheet, only the mouse works on the worksheet, which
take forever to select 30,000 data points. It's much
quicker to do a shift end down arrow to select an entire
column of data, but this doen't work anymore, as the
arrows only navigate the mini dialog box.

What do I have to do to fix this problem, and be able to
use arrow keys and shortcuts to select a range of cells?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but I'm pretty sure you can't fix=

this behavior. We've had this discussion before in this group with no =

positive results. This bug is one of my personal peet peeves.
