An Autoformat bug has appeared in Outlook in the last few weeks/last couple of months.

Outlook - Microsoft 365 for enterprise. Version 2004 (Build 12730.20236 Click-to-Run)

Autoformat as you type -> 'Automatic bulleted lists'

New email or reply.

In the email body - typing <space, hyphen, space> - bullet point is created correctly.

Typing any text followed by <space, hyphen, space> does not create a bullet point - which is correct.

However if you paste any text in first and then type <space, hyphen, space> - a bullet point created incorrectly.

This did not happen previously.



So this is a bug in the logic not understanding that after a paste, you are no longer at the start of a line so the Autoformat should not kick in - like it doesn't if you've typed any text instead.



I use spaces/hyphens after pasting text in all the time so I'm constantly removing the bulleted lists - and I don't want to turn off the 'Automatic bulleted lists' feature as I use that all the time too.



Minor bug but it's affecting me many many times a day so would appreciate it being fixed please!
