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 have no idea why the scroll side bar is not shown.

    You may ask it through "Help" and then "Support" of new outlook.

    This worked for me. Now a left click brings up options for misspelled words.

    Why would it be turned off by default, and hidden behind such a non-relating sequence of menus to enable???

    It still does not work in March almost April of 2024.

    This is going to be an uphill battle to get adoption of the new outlook.

    Good luck Microsoft.
