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!!

Now, if you left click on an underlined word it should bring up spelling suggestions.
Unsure if this is directly related. I can left click on a misspelled word and get spellcheck suggestions. However, when I click on a misspelled word, it does not let me type while the spellcheck menu is open. So, if the word you meant to type is not one of the options in the spellcheck menu, you have to click out of the word and maneuver yourself back to the word to correct it manually. This is insanely tedious and unintuitive.
It is July 2024 and spellcheck in the "new" Outlook doesn't only not provide suggestions, it also does not provide the option to change languages. I need to write in both Polish and German in addition to English, but the feature is non-existent. In the "new" version, everything I type in German or Polish is treated as if it were English. How did Microsoft ever come up with the idea to roll out this version in EUROPE without considering that some people might need to work in different languages?
I'll stick with the old version for now.
Completely agree - I don't need AI to which doesn't pick up the NZ accent anyway... but I do need spell check.
