Outlook for mac no longer respects reading pane choice

I have been facing the same issue, but you can try downgrading to solve the issue.
(Version 16.102.1 (25101829))
The old version can be downloaded from the website below.

Just was working with a client that was experiencing the same thing...
Hoping this gets fixed sooner rather than later.

msft support just told me via chat that it has it listed now as a bug to be fixed but needs to gather more documentation. i have to fill out some incident report. very microsoft ... we have to jump thru hoops to document what everyone knows before msft will fix what it broke. i have spent hours on this already in chat with msft and with other users. i am out of bandwidth to spend any more time. i'll fill out the incident report tonite and then wait a week or a month or a year for msft to fix it. same as it ever was ...which is why i abandoned msft for apple 16 years ago. thanks for your comment Ben. appreciate all you do.
