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?

    This is incredibly frustrating.

    The latest update also includes only being able to delete the incorrect word entirely or select from a drop-down menu that often doesn't even include the word I need. In trying to delete letters to fix the word myself, I ended up deleting emails without realizing.

    Please go back to the right click spellcheck, it worked fine.

    I'm afraid all the Outlook Team have done is make the user experience worse.

    When will this be switched back tot he industry standard right click / when will the option to toggle this become available?

    This falls far below what we should be able to expect of Microsoft.

    Has anyone from MS replied yet? I find it incredible that such a large company can completely ignore customer requirements. Doesn't bode well!

    I did get a direct response some time ago.

    I was told that this was done to provide a better user experience.

    They are not ignoring this matter. They believe that they are doing the right thing.

    The people that have to use their products, and suffer the consequences are saying otherwise, but they feel that they know what is best for us.

    Please make a fix! No one uses left click for this.
