E-mail addresses disappear in the New Outlook when I reply or forward an e-mail

I have a problem with the New Outlook when I reply or forward an e-mail. Let me describe how the New Outlook hides e-mail address.

Let's say I receive an email with this structure:

From: Person1 (Person1 email address)

Sent: To: Myself (my email address)

Cc: Person2 (Person2 email address); Person3 (Person3 email address); Person4 (Person4 email address)

When I hit "Reply", "Reply all" or "Forward", the text in the e-mail body which quotes this email is being re-formatted and shows the following:

From: Person1
Sent: To: Myself
Cc: Person2; Person3; Person4

So the New Outlook cuts or hides the e-mail addresses of the Sender and Recipients. The recipients of my email will not be able to reply to specific people in the e-mail thread because the New Outlook hides the addresses. I have tried to reinstall the app and reset the New Outlook settings, but it didn't help.

    Good morning,

    Replying to add some additional weight to the issue. We're having the exact same issue here. Force updated outlook as well. I just had an agent via outlook support try to convince me this could be by design.

    "We believe this to be a new change in design, however, to get more clarity and confirmation on the same, looped the Product Engineering team."

    I can't imagine they would do something like this given someone could no longer see who was involved in an email chain.

    Hoping to see an official reply here as outlook support seems dodgy at best.

    Thank you.

    Dan

    This is happening at my company as well, and can be a bad look when we have to call someone back to obtain the address that was dropped due to a bug in new outlook. Please advise us when this is corrected.

    I logged a ticket through new outlook on March 27th. I provided videos, examples, proof that it works in outlook web, etc immediately. They had me do things like restart outlook, force an update, but of course none of this worked. They proceeded to send me "the product team is looking at it" every few days until Wednesday when they acknowledged it is a bug and promptly closed the ticket. It seems they are finally acknowledging the issue a month and a half later, but I have little faith they will correct it as quickly as they broke it.
