Timeline Shows Rich Text Editor for Read-Only Email Activities – Unexpected Behavior

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 142

Hi all,

We're experiencing a strange issue in our Dynamics 365 Sales environment. Recently, the Rich Text Editor toolbar started appearing on email activities in the Timeline, even though these emails are read-only.

This was not the case before — the RTE panel used to be completely hidden for read-only emails. Now it appears for all users, across all forms and entities, but the toolbar doesn't work (since the record isn't editable).

This appears to be a UI bug or regression introduced by a recent update, possibly related to the Timeline control or platform changes. We've confirmed:

  • It occurs across all entities (e.g., Contact, Opportunity, etc.).

  • It affects all users

  • No recent customizations were made on our side

  • The email records are not editable, yet the toolbar still renders

 

I've attached a screenshot to show how the editor appears on a read-only email.

Has anyone else seen this behavior recently? Is this a known issue or tied to a specific update?

Thanks in advance!
