The latest Teams bug I've encountered is an inability to write a bulleted list with more than one bullet. Each newline splits the list into a new message. No combination of Shift/Ctrl/Alt + Enter worked. This changed, as in broke, around a week ago. At least for me, on Win 11. Edit: Just remembered another Teams bug from a few days ago: cut text from the middle of paragraph, paste it back in earlier in the same paragraph, ... and it appears in a smaller font.

For the list-bug, there is a workaround I think, if you go into the "Edit-mode" (or whatever it's called) where Enter won't immediately send the message, having multiple bullet points (by using Enter) still works. But yeah, it's really silly how they manage to break things like this. One would think they have a test-suite specifically for their shitty editor to prevent things like this - apparently not the case. Welp. It's not yet skype-levels of bad, where doing _anything_ beyond simple text was impossible, but it seems they're slowly getting their, update by update.

For me and my team CTRL+A randomly stops working for an hour. It happens every single day randomly for different members. Just mind-boggling BS every day with Teams. My Android client randomly signs me out, sometimes multiple times per day.

  Here's my "it's not stupid if it works" fix (that doesn't involve restarting Teams). Click on any message in a chat, click CTRL- (or CMD-) A, and congrats, select all works again. Please don't read this as a defense of Teams -- I'm just another frustrated user.

    THANK YOU, I couldn't figure out why sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't.

Exactly. This completely frustrated me out. How many times I hit enter and sent the msg instead of creaing a new list item? This can be remidiated by using the editor mode, albeit I found it frustrating still.

Yes. This is horrible. The horrible workaround is Ctl-Shift-X shortcut to bring up the more advanced editor that lets you selected bulleted lists.
