Outlook.com web Editor is disappointing, as it does not support multiple language spell checking (obvious for people working in multinational companies to know and use daily at least one or two foreign languages), it lags (sometimes just stops checking spelling for no aparrent reason) and is really slow.

How to disable Editor completely and revert to browser spellchecking?

    Hi,

    The entire point is to revert to using browser-only spell checker. But if the right click menu is "hijacked" by outlook's custom right click menu, then the browser spell checking is limited to only highlighting detected errors - there is no way to select correct word from right click menu, to add new word to browsers dictionary etc. Basically, editor is not doing anything, but it also prevents the browser to do it's work fully.

    Is there any way to remove the custom right click menu forced by outlook?

    Best regards,

    BB
