Preview Bugs - 11.0 (1044.2) Ventura 13.5 - Can't edit PDF's like it used to

The latest version of preview is buggy. My issues:

  • Comments don't work - now when I press the comment button under "markup" it puts a yellow sticky in the middle of the page which I can't for the life of me move to where I want it. I also can't highlight text to add a comment any more.
  • Highlighting - yellow is the only colour that works all the time, when I change the colour to something else by "right clicking" it changes colour, but if highlighted again its back to yellow.


Adding annotations to PDF's is a common thing to do, and preview used to be awesome at it, but these bugs make it super frustrating to even simple comments in a doc.


Apple please fix it!
