Spell check on "new" outlook does not work anymore when right clicking - change it back!

I mostly use only my keyboard to type, the dropdown option on the keyboard makes it extremely convenient to access the spell check options. This is a right click function, since changing it to left click this functionality has been lost.

Having to stop typing and using the mouse to left click every time is iritating and frankly a waste of time / disruptive. It makes no sense to change a function that has been a staple since the start of spellchecking without providing an option to change it back!!

    I tried this on the 06/05/2024 and still does not bring up any corrections options whether you right or left click.

    Finding it impossible to currently use the windows outloook app when composing emails due to this function not working!

    Yeah. It's not a feature in this new Outlook version. For that reason among other missing features, I switched back to the classic version.

    SOLUTION!!!! Toggle the "new outlook" button in the top right of outlook to off. This will resolve the spell check issue!!

    Go figure in trying to provide a solution, microsofts webpage is throwing an error when I attempt to upload a picture of the "new outlook" toggle button.
