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!!

    Just got new Outlook - Jan 2025. It will put the red underline in to say the word is misspelled but the right click does not bring up options to correct it.

    However, if I mistype in this window the right click does work. Please make that work in Outlook emails.
