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?

    That's odd - definitely works here, certainly in both Edge and Arc. Anyone else seeing this?

    The only thing I found not to work is Cmd-R to reply to a message (captured by Outlook - normally it'd refresh the page), but I always hated that and prefer Cmd-R to refresh anyway.

    CMD+Z is working fine for me. I'm using Arc.

    It seems that doing the NVRAM reset (cmd+option+P+R) after shutting down and restarting the mac works.

    I'm now again able to use the universal commands again.
