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 and typed “pon”, which corrects to “pun”, “pond” or “pony”.  I used to be able to disregard the suggestions and just manually fix the word, but now selecting the word locks you into the popup bubble and typing does nothing.  You need to select before or after the misspelled word and arrow key your way into the misspelled letter to correct.  Turning off spellcheck entirely eliminates the full functionality and I don’t want that.
