Outlook 365 spell check prevents manual editing of errors
When creating a new email in the online version of outlook, spellcheck recently started blocking manual editing of misspelled words. For example, when typing "on", I accidentally pressed the "p" key...
Super annoying, and actually quite dangerous. If you go to type on the word and the spelling comes up, any letter can direct your emails to weird places. For me it send my emails to the archives. I wish they just made the functionality the same as word, and requires a right click.
gerardricardo01I actually had the same problem for a while here (hadn't connected the issue to spellcheck, but it fits) but you can solve that by disabling keyboard shortcuts. With these on, pressing the "backspace" key archives the selected email. Like you would if you were, say, fixing a typo... Turning it off fixed that for me at least. Haven't experimented with the other shortcut options, but if you are OK with not having that functionality the option is available.
