I use the Outlook web app on MacOS, and selecting text word by word no longer works (shift + option + arrow on a Mac keyboard). This stopped working sometime this weekend. I tried multiple browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari) and multiple Macs (Two different MBAs and one MB Mini). I tried it on a PC and it works fine. It seems that something broken on the web app for Mac users over the weekend.

This is a critical shortcut for things like copying and pasting or deleting. Anyone having the same problem and has an idea of what to do about it?

    What about cmd+ctrl+space = emoji keyboard, which broke at the same time. Has this been addressed yet?

    Same here, still triggering indents in bulleted lists and also now the Command-arrow boots me from the editor altogether.

    In addition, formatting shortcuts (command-U for underline, for example) and things like command-enter to send, work only about half the time

    Anyone got a TamperMonkey fix for the new errors?

    That's the same behaviour I'm experiencing.

    So, still having the bug.

    Confirm, I also have some other strange behavior now. In bullet lists the word selection for example also doesn't work and I get booted somewhere else.

    At least in normal text body it works again - but I would love to have a bug-free Outlook web version for Chrome again, where all three text select options work anywhere, please 🙏

    They fixed this, but they broke Outlook keybindings for macOS users in special new ways. For example, I find that if I follow this sequence, I get booted to different outlook tabs:

    1. Use option+shift+arrows to select some words
    2. Use command+arrows to try to move to the start or end of a line

    That's enough to boot me from the editor.
