@ mentions not working (every now and then)

Am I the only one that experiences a lack of function in @mention people?    Every now and then, I have to restart M Teams because all of a sudden @ mention don't work. It just doesn't show anyone ...

Wow it's Apr 2022 and this is still unresolved? The only way to make it work again is by restarting MS Teams, which happens from 8 to 10 times a day on the average. It's quite frustrating, because mentions stop to work also during long meetings, which I cannot leave.

 

EDIT: A workaround I just found out: detach the chat window and continue mentioning there.

It is really a bummer that this still happens. I've found this issue can be consistently re-created. The following steps wreck mentions until an app reboot:

 

  1. Start composing a message
  2. Hit the ` key and type a string, then hit ` again to make it monospaced inline
  3. Mentions don't work anymore until you restart the app

    Mentions are still not working for any of my apps: Teams, Word, Word online. I'm linked with my school account. I'm trying to reply to a comment and flag a specific person so they know to look at it. Always says there are no suggestions.
