Outlook automatically jumps to older emails

Hi,

The last version of Outlook for office 365 (for Mac) automatically jumps to older emails when I leave Outlook in the background. 

So far I could not find any pattern of how and when exactly it does so. But when returning to Outlook after having worked in other applications for some minutes, Outlook has already jumped and is showing a one or two months old email, meaning I have to manually go to the top of the list.

Any idea if it is possible to solve this issue in the current version or whether we will have to wait for an upgrade?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

Please try the "Insiders Fast" 15.23 public update to see if this is still happening.  Go to "Help"->"Check for Updates" and opt in to the "Insiders Fast" program at the bottom to get the new update.  If you are on "Insiders Slow" or have not opted into a pre-release, then you will have to wait a few more days for the update.  We did make a change that we thought might fix the jumpiness, but haven't been able verify since we can't repro internally.

    I have also been trying to establish a pattern in the jumping but was unable to do so.  One thing that I have however noticed was that it pick a certain old email to jump back to.  I also does not jump to the oldest email just to an old one.

    I have re-installed and tried various combinations. For me it seems to happen if I have conversations on. If I turn it off it doesn't jump to the bottom. If I toggle Conversations, it immediately jumps to the bottom. However after leaving it on, it jumps sporadically.

    Hi all,

    We have been trying to investigate this behavior, but are still not able to repro this within our team.  Does someone have a case where this is happening very consistently?  If so, please respond, and I will send you a private message to get more details.  Thanks.
