Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
That didn't work for me. :(
Why does my "tab" key no longer cycle out of the "TO" area? Outlook Live Web Browser

Good morning,
Within the past 2 days, my Outlook Live web browser will no longer tab from the "TO" field to the "CC" field or the "BCC" field when email addresses autopopulate into the "TO" field.
It has tabbed fine for almost 5 years for all contacts, but for the past few days, it will no longer work on any of the names in my contact list.
If I enter their name and then try to tab down to the subject line, it highlights the name in yellow, but it will never tab down to the other fields.
If I put my cursor in the subject line and then tab, the cursor will move from the subject line to the body of the email.
Why is the Outlook Live web browser functioning this way on certain names in my contact list?
I have cleared my cache and cookies.
I have tried using incognito mode.
Nothing has worked.

I am experiencing the same issue. This started sometime during the day on Monday, April 7th. It worked in the am, then the afternoon stopped tabbing from To to CC.
I had our in-house IT guy look at it and he could not find the fix or issue.
Please advise.

2025-04-09T17:56:52+00:00 Having the same issue. I've attempted everything I know to do, restarting, updating, all the alt alt's and codes. Nothing is working. I'm aware it's an error on Microsoft's side, I just hope they get it repaired soon. I REALLY hate classic outlook and will absolutely not be using it. I am, however, glad this was not something my fast little fingers messed up, while typing on my keyboard, by pushing random buttons together...because I really thought that might be the case!
