Mac OS finder preview of PDFs always shows 2nd page?

When you press the space bar to preview a PDF in Mac OS finder, it always shows 2nd page. Has anyone found a fix for this? Looks like an old issue that's been around a while.

This does not, and has never happened with any random, multi-page, or multi-sourced PDF on my macOS 11.6.5 or 12.3.1 installations when using Quick Look, Preview, or Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.


Does this reoccur during Safe Boot mode followed by a normal reboot?
