For some reason Outlook no longer brings up a spellchecker if context menu is pressed on a red underlined word, like it used to do in the past.

Instead I get this pop up:

Anyone else getting this?

As most recommend on the forum, try the Build update, now on 22631.3374.

Apparently spellcheck only works when composing in a detached window... 🤷‍♂️

Don't you mean left-click on the red-underlined word rather than right-click?

@Try3 Left click on the red-underlined word doesn't work at all, in either In-line mode or New window mode.

Right-click on the red-underlined word doesn't bring the spellchecker up in In-line mode but does in New window mode.
