Outlook PWA, how to change spellcheck back to right click

Anonymous

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?

    "there is no setting in Outlook or Chrome that allows you to change the spellcheck feature back to right-click. This is a design choice made by the Outlook team to improve the user experience."

    This "feature" reduces productivity and sullies the user experience.

    It is bad enough that we are likely to drop Outlook as our email client, if this "feature" is not removed, and uniform operation restored.

    The left-click popup functionality is just atrocious. I am writing, not looking at my screen . Then I want to fix some of the words. I want to move the mouse cursor inside the word and just change it. Now, because left click opens the spelling popup I archive some mail when I press the backspace key. Horrible experience. I cannot count how many emails I have archived by mistake. I have to click on the word, then click outside of the popup and then I can edit the word and even that is not working all the time. By any means, open the popup, but move the caret with the click and don't unfocus the email message box.

    Using the pop out feature will also bring back the right click option. This is a very frustrating update.

    I just hope they don't apply this on all their other apps.

    I totally agree! I can't believe all their other apps still use right click spell check but Outlook doesn't... it's infuriating!
