AltGr dead key keyboard layout not working with Outlook
I am using a specific keyboard layout with Windows 10 using AltGr dead keys: to get an é I have to press AltGr + ' then e.
It is working fine with all the installed software... except with Outlook ("Office 365 ProPlus" version).
If I start writing a "New Mail", with a new window showing up, it will work fine. But if I reply to an existing mail, so the edit frame is embedded in the main window, the dead keys will not work anymore: pressing the usual sequence will show ''e instead of é (Note that the single quotes will appear differently depending on the "smart quotes" option).
I tried to modify all the autocorrect/autoformat/editing related options, without any chance.

I have the same problem. I know this is not a perfect solution but you can use Ctrl+Alt instead of Alt Gr.
