Had to use Word 365 today and found out that when you type a non-ASCII character like ø or ä, it will just ignore everything else you type after it and actually discard the whole rest of the sentence once you press Enter. 🤯

IT'S 2025 GODDAMNIT THE EIGHTIES CALLED AND WANT THEIR ENCODING PROBLEMS BACK. 🤬

Oooh, sorry, I've been using MsOffice on desktop only, as much as I can, so don't know, but I'll test and eventually report to Microsoft. Are there any special conditions or can I just start typing in, say, French or Ukrainian for the text to disappear?

@menelion In my case (Danish) I can e.g. type "eftersøgning" and when I hit Enter, I'm left with "efters" and nothing after.

Cooool. I mean… that's an epic fail. Will test and report, if I can.
