New Outlook Bug – Hitting backspace when the spellcheck popup opens deletes whole email
This is a highly disruptive bug.
When I am typing, I, like everyone, make typos. Usually you just click on the wrong character to set the cursor there, hit backspace, and fix the type.
The brilliance of the new outlook is now that if you click on a word with a typo in it, it directly opens the spellcheck popup. But if I now click backspace, instead of the cursor deleting the previous character. The backspace is handled by the list of emails in the inbox, instead of the text i am writing. This results in the email i am typing, as well as the email i was replying to is deleted. And if I hit backspace a couple of times, it deletes more email in the inbox.
So to summarize.
– Replty to email
– Start typing
– Make a typo
– Try to fix the typo by using the mouse to place the cursor next to the typo
(The spellcheck popup takes focus away from the text editor)
– Try to delete the erroneous characters with backspace.
ERROR: The whole email is deleted, and if you are unlucky other emails as well if you pressed backspace repeatedly.
Good luck finding the correct emails back.
