How to mark AND copy in PDF viewer (Split Screen) / Bug report?

Hello everyone,


I wanted to report this to the support as a bug, but maybe I am doing sth wrong too, so I'd ask first I someone has a solution for my issue. It is while having a PDF-text opened (no preview, but opened normally).

Working with PDF-texts in full- and split-screen (Evernote in my case)

- Sometimes I can’t mark text (button is inactive)

- Sometimes I can’t copy text (cannot get out of the marking-text tool)

- I only can use one of those two options, never both simultaneously.


I would be delighted to get this fixed, it is impossible to do academic work that way. Or if it is a bug, it needs to get fixed asap.


One more issue though it is minor:

- The PDF always shows the sidebar when I return to split screen (after e.g. browsing) - even though it is deactivated. One has to set the mark at "always show sidebar", and then deactivate it again, in order for it to disappear. No big hindering, but very annoying though.


Looking forward to your replies.
