Outlook Search loses focus
I was hoping after a year this would have been resolved. Such a drain for speedy users. The worst is when you click the search bar, start typing, but actually make a typo (in your head) and hit backspace - this is bad because if the search bar lost focus, then the email list pane took focus, and the pressing of the backspace deletes the email you happen to have selected after the ineffectual typing. It's tough to describe...
- JCoupeJan 31, 2024Copper ContributorOMG.. I can't believe I typed this out already, almost do the day, one year ago.

Microsoft's silence is deafening. Just this morning again I was swearing under my breath as I realised I was typing into nothingness.
- shawnIntoTechFeb 01, 2024Copper ContributorI also don't understand why Microsoft has not provided any update. Maybe they are scrambling to fix the 'New Outlook' that is unusable from my perspective. I do want to let you all know that I now do my best to never click in the search area, instead I use the shortcut Alt-Q when I want to search.

I continue to battle with the search bar focus. I'm fast with the mouse and keyboard and when you click on the search bar you expect to have focus in the search bar area, but that is not always the case. Pernille-Eskebo, when is this going to be fixed?
