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?

Most excellent. Thank you so much, Oliver and Ben for your work on that temporary solution! This was driving me insane.
Can also confirm, finally I can work more productively again :)
Mac User - confirmed - the functionality is restored! Nice!
Thank you for working on fixing this! As of today's update (for me on Chrome/Brave, but not yet Safari) this crucial shortcut works again. Excellent!
It’s not a bug, they just ignored standard Mac key combos, and it doesn’t affect Teams.
