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...
THIS!
I have had this issue for a while now, with the new Outlook client.
I am typing in English and German and tend to be a "type quick and fix later" person.
The spell check highlights every fourth word, because it doesn't like the bilingual text.
Since this has ben happening, I struggle with fixing typos, because the automatic pop-up almost never contains what I wanted to type, while also preventing me from just overwriting.
Instead, my routine is now "click into the word, hit ESC, and then start fixing".
Half the time I forget to hit ESC and end up accidentally archiving emails from my inbox, with the backspace shortcut.
This feel almost unusable.
