On some days, Outlook decides to eat keystrokes. I'm constantly battling the email editor to type what I need to type. Sometimes, it gets worse because it will reinterpret my keystrokes as activated shortcuts like delete or archive an email.
Does this happen to anyone else? I'm using Firefox.
It really seems fine on some days and completely unusable on others. I've disabled all intelligent/predictive features because those features made it worse, but now even with those all disabled, the problem persists although to a lesser degree.
I've gotten desperate enough with the issue I wondered if anyone else experienced them.

Probably the worst one is a 2011 Mac Mini Server running MacOS which just can't keep up with how fast I type.
I have some Windows computers that seem to eat keystrokes and have other obnoxious keyboard-related behaviors, but I think most of those have to do with more complex situations like the focus not being in the right place, the 'end' key being close to the 'insert' button resulting in the 'insert/overstrike' toggle being wrong about 50% of the time, etc.
