Asking one last time then giving up

Apple Beta Releases

I'm running the latest public beta of Senoma. I've turned off autocorrect globally but in Mail it's present. It's also happening on this site when I type. granted it catches my mistakes but I'd rather I do a decent job and find my own errors. Is this a bug or not? I can go into mail's edit menu but all the options are greyed out predictably. Please, if anyone can fix this, it's driving me even more crazy then my Irish whit has me already. thanks.

Hi,
I'm also seeing this in Sonoma beta. I'm getting messages about corrections and words seem to have been corrected when I do a proof-read. Very annoying. I cannot say if this is only VoiceOver-related, or an issue in general.

Hi,

A temporary solution for both Mail, and Safari/whatever browser you use would be to Re-enable the Global setting under Keyboard > Text in the System Settings. Next, go to the top menu > Edit > Spelling and Grammar > and Uncheck the 'Check spelling while typing' option. Do this for both Mail and <Insert browser here>. Also I would recommend going back into Keyboard > Text settings and disabling EVERYthing there. Close both Mail and your browser. Finally give her a reboot.

HTH. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Hi Brian, I didn't look to see if your name was spelled that way, sorry. I'll try that when I give a crap to do so. Lol. seriously i appreciate the help but right now am waiting for the hurricane which is going to bring severe flooding. thankfully not in a flood zone but still. I'll have to find this post again. Thanks so much. will see you and all others when the storm's over.

...and stay away from yellow brick roads, and talking scarecrows. Ok, so you said Hurricane, and not Tornado. In my defense its late and I am something of an insomniac.

PS I don't miss FL...... ok maybe a little. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

We're even! ;) Yeah it should be a hell of a storm. Hoping I don't lose power, because then goes the web then goes my sanity because our reception in the crib sucks, ahem! Can't sleep either. Only thing I miss about Boston is Mom, but she's in heaven so I know she followed my Dad and I down here. I'm twenty min outside Tampa.

I canโ€™t remember exactly what problem he was getting as itโ€™s not something Iโ€™ve noticed but Iโ€™m pretty sure, recently he was having problems with auto correct in iOS 17. Within the last week if you check his comments. Good luck with the storm.

Possibly since iOS 17 and macOS 17 share quite a bit of the same code.
