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?

Writing emails on Mac became just crazy and time-consuming. Thanks Microsoft for making things harder than usual... =/
Please, anyone who reads and replies for a definitive fix?
Sorry to ask: does the script above fixes all the issues? I actually got cmd + arrow key disappearing from an email to nowhere...
Just adding myself to the chorus here. This is maddening.
Also adding a "vote" here. It's really frustrating.
Is there any way to submit a ticket for the outlook.live.com domain, which must have been broken by the same 'update' as Outlook Web Access?
Can we please get visibility of the status of the existing ticket for OWA?
It's maddening that my cursor just disappears randomly when doing something as simple as typing in a text box and even more so that a company as large as Microsoft (who should know better!) doesn't seem to be in any hurry to fix this.
Oh my God, this is so annoying. I've been working with this shortcut since around 2005 on a. Mac!!! And now it's changed... who is doing the usability testing on changes like this?
It's driving me crazy, the indentation is only 5% as useful as the original short-cut.
