Well, I had assumed that clicking on a sheet tab would de-select the
multiple sheet thing. I have used the feature to get printout of all
sheets, but not recently. Unless there has been some finger problems
that I haven't noticed. Certainly I did a lot of swapping between
individual sheets to see the effect and didn't press the control key.
I'll assume for the moment that your diagnosis is the answer but keep
a wary eye out for the effect sneaking back in.

Many thanks,
Bill
