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?

    I would like to know the UI testing you used to show people trying to left click over right click to correct spelling/grammar.
    As the whole world is trained to right click, i can't imagine you actually tested this for proper intuition/ ease of use. Admit it, you made a coding mistake, please change it back ASAP.

    This is utterly ridiculous, a unilateral decision to change a decades old tradition of right-click enabled spell check to improve the user experience is possibly the dumbest PR speak I've ever heard.

    To also make this decision without providing the end user with any recourse to set this to normal is above and beyond stupid.

    Please just provide a setting to put this back to normal, why can we not vote on this?
