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?

- Use option+shift+arrows to select some words
- Use command+arrows to try to move to the start or end of a line
That's enough to boot me from the editor.

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 🙏

So, still having the bug.
