Shortcuts appearing when using Option+arrow in Outlook on Chrome in Mac
This issue has been identified with Outlook on the web (Outlook 365 accessed via Chrome on macOS). The behavior occurs because the web application intercepts certain macOS-native text navigation commands specifically the Option+Arrow key combinations and repurposes them within its own accessibility and keyboard shortcut framework. As a result, instead of performing the expected word-by-word navigation, the application displays access key prompts, interrupting the text editing workflow.

Thank you so much for the reply, and letting me know I'm not crazy! :-)
Other than using a different browser on Mac, then, is there any way currently to correct the issue? I'm guessing not, based on your reply.
Thanks again.
