Preview Lost the Ability to Perform Text Searches (on a PDF file)

I'm at a loss for words. I'll provide a video showing this bug when I'm done with work. For now I'll use a different product.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14

Did this happen after the 2020-005 SecUpd for Mojave?


Try reinstalling this in Safe Mode, but not using Firefox...

Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup).


Seems to fix about 90% of the problems.
