Still seeing this issue as well

Not to wake an old thread, but I also had this question. In case anybody else is wondering about this, they can see this answer, where it is stated that this issue has been resolved as of macOS 12.0 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/689078?answerId=687368022#687368022

This works well. Even better when you wrap the assignment in a withAnimation. 😊 withAnimation { editMode = .active }
