I just noticed this yesterday! I usually use the desktop Outlook client, but yesterday I got an email on my other machine, and was replying using the web version. It just randomly dropped characters as I was typing. What on earth would cause that to happen? Best I can tell is that the autocomplete functionality was struggling to keep up with what I was typing? Or there is some onKeyPress function that doesn't reliably return a character because of it?

I use Firefox which I suspect is half the issue, but I think most of Microsoft’s engineering teams are falling short on quality. Live / Azure login is another pet hate.

Disabling autocomplete suggestions improves, but does not eliminate the problem. I believe you can also work around the problem by using Edge/not-Firefox. It’s clear that MS have stopped testing or caring about Firefox compatibility (if they ever did in the first place). At this point, the bug is at least months old.

  Edge is proprietary and thus completely unacceptable. MSFT has hundreds of billions of dollars, surely they can make a web application work with Firefox. Testing it only in edge is sheer arrogance. I begrudgingly use chromium whenever there's a meeting in wretched Teams. It's only because I'm using a reasonably new Thinkpad that it even works at all. My previous computer wouldn't even run chromium.

    No it's not, it's entirely chromium based, anything unique to edge, is reusable by chromium project, n vice versa for chrome.
