Please use this megathread for any and all discussion related to macOS Golden Gate 27 Developer Beta 8 and the corresponding public beta (when available).
This thread will be open until the Release Candidate/Golden Master of the software becomes available.
If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.
If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.
In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.
All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

Still braille issues
for those who have the setting "Show multiple items" disabled in VoiceOver utility > Braille > Layout, there is still the issue that the behavior is not right in Safari / WebKit-based views at all.
Braille
What behavior are you noticing? I have this option disabled and it generally seems usable.
Running AppleScript from a VO shortcut?
Has anyone tried executing an AppleScript from a VO shortcut? I can't get it to work, but I've never tried it before, so I'm suspicious the problem might be me.
VO+E is unassigned. Verify that with VO+K keyboard help.
Create an AppleScript to make three beep sounds and verify it:
mbp % cat beep3.scpt
beep 3
mbp % osascript ./beep3.scpt
Then assign that script to VO+E.
When I test VO+E, I still get a ding, not the three beeps. So it's clearly not executing my AppleScript.
I'd test on Tahoe to see if this is a Golden Gate regression, but I've been banging my forehead against this all day and I'm exhausted. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Try keyboard commander keys.
I've had issues with applescripts on normal commands and have to use the option keys to get them to run.
This happens on macOS 26 as well.
