Microsoft Edge Freezes in Office 365 Outlook With Overlays - Mac OS

I'm having a very specific issue with Microsoft Edge where it freezes whenever I use Outlook (0365 Education on the web), and it produces an overlay of some type. This occurs when I open an email attachment, preview a message, and select a menu item that creates a confirmation overlay (for example when selecting 'empty folder'). It seems to be restricted to this behavior, and it reoccurs very frequently. I have tried the following:

  • Cleared Cache
  • Disabled / Removed Plugins
  • Reinstalled Edge

I'm currently using Microsoft Edge Version 107.0.1418.52 (Official build) (arm64). I'm on a MacBook Air M1 MacOS Monterey V 12.6 (21G115).

I'm wondering if there is a known issue with this type of behavior specifically. Thanks in advance for any insight.

UPDATE, EDITED (DEC 7): After a few weeks, this issue still persists on all builds on and after 107.0.1418.52. I have opened a ticket with Microsoft. While the solution kindly provided by par_0511 allows you to roll back, no fix has been applied. In my case, I cannot use Edge on a production machine due to the age of the last working version.

terry.schoof/Thom Hanford, Can you please try downloading >= 108.0.1462.46 build and share whether it works for you or not? You can download it from this page Microsoft Edge (see below image)

    I've updated to 108.0.1462.46 and I am no longer encountering the errors that appeared when an overlay dialog was activated.

    Thank you for alerting us to the fix.

    Thanks for reporting this issue.

    We were able to reproduce the issue and it occurs when native accessibility and web accessibility is on in edge://accessibility page. We have fixed this issue in latest Microsoft Edge code and the fix will be available in the next minor release of Microsoft Edge but till then you can workaround by unchecking the native accessibility and web accessibility setting.

    Regards
