What issue are you seeing?

In a writing block, I can't accept targeted edits. The writing block level edit field does work and provide suggestions that I can accept or decline, but if I select some text within the writing block and request edits, I see the suggested edits in blue, but there's no accept button nor any ability to do anything further, and the writing block level edit button is greyed out. Like the whole thing is waiting for confirmation, but I have no way to do so.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

In a conversation, request something that will result in a writing block, then try to select some text and request edits on that writing block.

What is the expected behavior?

I can accept the changes, and they will go from blue back to black, and then I can make further edits.
