I recently started using Outlook PWA with Chrome and the right click spellcheck is disabled, forcing me to use left click to access spellcheck. This is very unintuitive, all applications use right click for spellcheck. I am deeply confused by this interface choice, the right click menu in Outlook is useless now, the only options being copy & paste and emojis for some reason?
Is there a setting in Outlook OR an chrome extension OR an Outlook Add-in that will put my spell check back on the right click where it is expected?

I gave up and went back to old outlook. I kept from habit, which with word will never die, using the wrong mouse buttons for spell check.
An entire class of government (defense) contract workers are forbidden by federal law from using could/web-based services for national security reasons.
Offline, air-gapped systems are required.
As I am one of them, along with tens-of-thousands (if not far more) others, that would necessitate abandoning the use of these products.
The vast majority of products and services that are consumed by the DoD are made by independent contractors, and not large corporations.
If this is the pending policy, it will aggressively harm small businesses in the US.
Really don't like this. Just end up fighting it. I just wrote fuolicate instead of duplicate through a typo. Spell check failed to correct it which is fine its pretty awful. But I can't then click into the word to delete the mistyped letters without triggering the spell check!
You have to click into the word in front, and arrow your way back to make changes which just adds time. It just feels more cumbersome than using the right click for this. Having the right click for spelling and left for clicking into the word gives me the choice to correct my work. Merging these both into the left click more often than not creates a scenario where I have to work around the tools meant to 'Help'
We are in no need of an apology from them for being "unable to meet" our requirements.
That's not even am apology, as this is not now, nor has it ever been an issue of them being "unable to meet" any requirements.
They are fully capable of correcting this error. They have made a choice to not do it.
If this were an apology, it would read "We apologize that we are unwilling to meet your requirements."
This is not customer service. This is customer indifference, masquerading as care.
The Product Team make a mistake. The responsible adult thing to do would be to admit it, actually apologize, and fix the error.
Every major corporation that forgets who drives features in products, and instead decides to substitute corporate judgement is now largely, or completely a historical footnote.
its known in the trade as user hostile software development. Not a single thought given to the user. its very common in software development. I loath this feature so now use an old version of outlook. it cant be beyond the wit of the **** in IT to sort out a setting so you can choose. Get on with it Microsoft.
