Can't Tab Through the Recipients Fields:

Up until recently, when I type in a recipient's email address in the "To" field, I can then press the TAB key, which moves the cursor from the "To" field to the "CC" field. From there, I can type another recipient's email address, then click the "Tab" key, to move the cursor from the "CC" field to the "BCC" field. Likewise, I can tab from the BCC field into the subject line.

 

As of a week or so ago, there appears to be a bug / change and now I can no longer tab through these fields (if they're populated - tabbing still works through blank fields). If the field is populated, the cursor seems to be highlighting the recipient's name, rather than presenting at the end of the string, and the tabbing function is precluded. This isn't a huge deal, but it is a pain in the **bleep**.

  • Which version of Outlook? Outlook Classic? (product or 365?) or New Outlook, or OWA? 

    If Outlook Classic, try doing the updates and restart Outlook, that might help.

      It looks like I'm in 365. It is working now, however!

      I swear it was like that for a few days. I restart my computer every morning, but I'm not sure if / when any updates ran. Thank you for following up!

        That's how it goes sometimes, the updates fix oddball glitches, keep in mind for next time :)
