Able to edit text in Preview? After the image has already been edited and saved using Preview - how can I move text and correct a spelling mistake? Or is the text now "locked"? I cannot seem to select and edit the text! Thanks for any help.

Issues with text input from a text editor I'm having issues when writing text. It removes, and causes the text to be replaced. Does not look like a standard autocorrect. Pls view video to see the issue. Any ideas how to remediate this? [Link Edited by Moderator]

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?

If no change report back.
