Screenshot "Open in Preview" Opens Preview's Open File Window
I'm using Big Sur 11.6 on a 2018 MacBook Pro. Up until recently, when I'd take a screenshot, I could right-click the quick thumbnail to get a menu and select Open in Preview, which would then open the image in Preview. For the past weeks or month or so, when I choose Open in Preview, Preview launches its Open File menu, instead of opening the screenshot.
If I hit cancel, the open window goes away but my screenshot does not open. I have to repeat the process, and on the second attempt, when I cancel the Open File window, my screenshot will open.
Not the biggest problem in the world, but is a wrinkly in my workflow at times. Any ideas? Is this an issue that carried over to Monterey?
