Outlook - Spellcheck moved from right click to left click
In the last week, the spell check option in my Office 365 Outlook has changed from the right click to the left click. I am assuming this was some kind of update to Office. The change hasn't occurred ...
This is the worst design decision I've seen in a long time. This stupid feature has caused me to delete so many emails without even realizing. If the focus is on an email in the list (not sure how it stays there when I'm typing in to the email window) then I click in a word to correct it, press the backspace button to manually correct it and bam, email is deleted. I've reverted back to old outlook until this BUG is resolved. I call it a bug because no one would willingly make such a horrible design choice.
Found a link to a request for this feature. Let's upvote it. Right now, it actually doesn't have that many votes, so perhaps those of us who can't believe MS would break a standard UI feature that's been there for at least two decades and still remains in all the other Office and Windows apps are in the minority. But let's upvote it and hopefully we'll at least get this added as an option.
