Apple Mail compose field becomes uneditable after using Apple Intelligence rewriting tools on macOS 27 Developer Beta 1
I am seeing a reproducible issue in Apple Mail on macOS 27 Developer Beta 1 where the compose body becomes locked/uneditable after using Apple Intelligence writing tools.
Environment
Mac:
macOS: macOS 27.0 Developer Beta 1
Build: 26A5353q
Device: MacBook Pro with Apple Silicon
shouldSwitchToCampoMode: false (isEnhancedSiriAvailable=false)
App:
Apple Mail
Compose window
Apple Intelligence Writing Tools
Summary
When composing an email in Apple Mail, if I write some text and then use Apple Intelligence to rewrite it — for example using Friendly, Professional, or Concise — Mail replaces the original text with the rewritten version.
After the rewritten text is inserted, the message body becomes unresponsive. I cannot continue typing, edit the rewritten text, delete text, select text normally, or add new content inside the email body.
The Apple Intelligence button also becomes unresponsive after this happens.
The only actions that still seem to work are sending the email, discarding the draft, or using some toolbar actions such as emoji insertion.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Apple Mail on macOS 27 Developer Beta 1.
Create a new email.
Type any text into the email body.
Use Apple Intelligence Writing Tools.
Choose a rewrite option such as:
Friendly
Professional
Concise
Let Apple Intelligence replace/update the email body text.
Try to click back into the message body and continue typing or editing.
Expected Result
After Apple Intelligence rewrites the email body, the compose field should remain fully editable.
The user should be able to:
Continue typing after the rewritten text
Edit or delete the rewritten text
Select and modify text
Use Apple Intelligence again on the updated content
Continue composing the email normally
Actual Result
After Apple Intelligence inserts the rewritten text:
The email body becomes uneditable.
Typing no longer works inside the message body.
Clicking inside the body does not restore normal editing.
Existing text cannot be edited or changed.
Apple Intelligence controls become unresponsive.
The compose window itself does not fully crash, but the body editor appears stuck.
Send and discard still appear to work.
Reproducibility
This appears to be reproducible after using Apple Intelligence rewriting tools inside Apple Mail’s compose window.
It was working before, so this appears to be a regression in macOS 27 Developer Beta 1.
