No spelling suggestions in the right-click menu (New Outlook for Windows)

Split from this thread.

I have had the same issue, but I have the Office 365 Outlook app actually loaded on my computer.

It happened when I switched to the new view of Outlook. I am ready to switch back to the old view due to this feature not working. I use it all the time.

It shows the spelling error, but does not provide spelling suggestions in the right click pop up menu.

I checked the editor settings and these are all turned on. I also restarted the application.

    I was only able to get as far as Privacy and Data. There isn't an option for Privacy Settings. Privacy and Data shows Suggested people and Search History options. Tried searching Privacy Settings from the setting screen and the drop down only shows Pop-out settings and Group settings.

    Left click does work on my computer, nor right click nor finding any of the settings to change it. I did see one person said it works if you open the email in a new window and that worked. Poor planning!!

    After I opened an email in a separate window it worked and now it works all of the time.

    Thanks.

    Glad it helped, Jeffrey. I can't take full credit, though. I found that solution somewhere on the web, and thought I should repost it here.

    Right-clicking works here in the New Outlook for Windows. Left-clicking does not seem to work at the moment.

    I don't remember which version I used in July 2023.

    I am currently (April 7, 2024) on version 1.2024.327.300 (Production). See the screen shot below.
