Activate Tab Not Working

Question

When I right click on the tab arrow in the bottom left of the screen, a window pops up to "activate" a specific tab. I have about 70 different ones but they all start with a number. I used to be able to just start typing the name and press enter to shoot me over to that tab. For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to work anymore, I can type "6063" and it will highlight "6070" tab instead. Makes no sense. I was using it just fine for weeks but something changed.

Answer 1

I'd suggest you raise it to Microsoft. Hope they can revert the feature back.

Please contact your admin/IT department create a support ticket via Microsoft 365 Admin Center> Support> New service request. Support team there will have the correct channel and resources to help you investigate more and find what exactly the reason has caused this situation.

Answer 2

Yes I am seeing that on my end too. However, I used to be able to type in at least 4 digits to get to the specific tab I wanted. Have no idea what I did to change that.

Answer 3

Based on my test, it only works for the first character.

When I press 6, it will choose 6063.

Press 6 again, it will choose the second one with number 6 at first.

Then Press 1, it will go to 100011.
