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 a design choice made by the Outlook team to improve the user experience.
Are you kidding me? Do you really think I want to replace every misspelled word with an emoji?!
****?!
Clicking on the "ABC" icon does nothing, by the way (at least on my machine).
"This is a design choice made by the Outlook team to improve the user experience". Who at Microsoft decided that user experience was improved by implemented many of the changes in Outlook? It now takes me considerably longer to send emails since automatic spell check was removed, I could list a dozen changes made that has made using Outlook less convenient.
THis is a ridiculous change, it pulls Outlook out of line with every other application including all other Microsft Office application.
I can't help but echo everyone else's frustration. I highly doubt that an "Outlook team" made a choice like that after any valid research or user experience. The new Outlook and such changes are yet another example of accepting lower standards with each new version.
"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.
