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?

    Definitely not using any scripts. I’ve never even attempted to use any.

    Do you have any conflicting plugin or script still running? Can you double check?

    No, using shift+command still kicks focus out of the message body. It's highly irritating and, as far as I can tell, the last part of the bugged behavior remaining.

    Agree! So glad and appreciative of the basic normalness.

    Hi everybody,

    after a few weeks, I can confirm that any issues was sorted out in terms of keyboard actions and shortcuts.

    Do you all agree?
