Outlook - Scrolling Issue

Anonymous

Since the recent Office 2016 updates we have a number of users having an issue with scrolling through emails in Outlook.

Here's what happens;

User opens an email (or replies to an email).

Then the user tries to scroll to the top of the inbox (sorted by date order for example).

After dragging the scroll bar up to the top (via wheel or left click), the scroll bar jumps back down to show the 'active' email in the centre. Basically it keeps the view pane showing the last 'active' email in view.   

There's no way of cancelling the active email. The users have to keep clicking higher up the list, or press 'Home' on the keyboard to get to the top.  

We have re-installed/repaired 2016 install on multiple machines and it's only been happening since the recent updates.  

How do we resolve this? I'm thinking it's a new feature but it's causing a lot of issues.

The Outlook Team has pushed out a fix from the service.  Please restart Outlook and let me know if you see the issue persist.

Correct Luke, no patches are needed.  The change is purely on the service side.  Outlook will pick up the change from the service and react to it.

    We are First release deferred.  Version 1705 (Build 8201.2102) from June 13th was exhibiting the scrolling and spell-check issues.  We force updated to 1706 which resolved our problems.  I am not sure about the 1705 build released yesterday 8201.2136.

    Dear Gabriel,

    I have been having the same issue over the last couple of months, and the issue has not been resolved upon restarting Outlook.

    Kind regards,

    Simen Storm Berger

    My version is First Release for Deferred Channel, version 1705. Tried updating, but was told this is the latest version. Scrolling issue persists.
