Microsoft warns a recent Microsoft Edge update introduced a code regression that breaks right-click paste in the Microsoft Teams desktop client, greying out the Paste option in chat context menus. Users can bypass the issue using keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd + C and Ctrl/Cmd + V) and Microsoft is rolling out a staged fix while monitoring telemetry. #MicrosoftEdge #MicrosoftTeams
