Cannot enter recipient email addresses in Outlook on Mac. Any help?

Since today, when I try to compose an email it will let me type in both the subject and body fields (as normal) but not in the 'To' field to enter the recipient's email address.

I click on the 'To' bit and nothing happens. I hover the cursor over it and try to type - nothing happens. I'm blocked out from entering any email addresses.

It means I cannot send any new emails from my account via my desktop. Seems to be just fine from my phone.

It's bizarre and frustrating and I can't find anything about it online.

Desktop is an older iMac using Safari. Never had a problem before.

    I'm having the same issue on OS 11.6.8. It started happening fairly recently, within the last few weeks, so maybe it is a problem with some recent update. It's very annoying when something that was working fine gets broken.

    Me too. Just started fairly recently, and only in Safari. Very annoying!

    I have a macOS 10.13.6 and have to report that the problem I had with attaching recipients to emails appears to have resolved.

    We have seen this issue on Safari - macOS 10.15.7

    We could not replicate on macOS 11, 12, or 13

    The only workarounds were to use the Outlook App itself, hit the window pop out button, or use another browser.
