Sincerely,

Tahoe 26.2 here

Using keyboard commands " Command + R" " and / or " Option + Command + R" in Safari version 26.2 (21623.1.14.11.9)

They Both refresh the Webpage I am working on

That happens when you use the " Reload this page " ?

cmd+R works for me with Safari running Tahoe 26.2

PS: Preview bug with text selection has broken for a long time and no fix in Tahoe 26.2 neither.

What "Preview bug" are you referring to?

I noticed the ticket you posted that you are telling others to report the possible bug here in these forums. That will get you nowhere. These user-to-user forums are manned by fellow users like yourself. Apple Support is not here and does not monitor these forums. No one here is an Apple employee.

If you want to report this to Apple you need to use the feedback system.

Feedback - macOS - Apple

If enough users report the same issue Apple might take a look. Always remember that any issue you might encounter doesn’t mean all users have it. As you can see from the responses no one has confirmed the issue themselves, including myself.

Please try this one https://www.ebooksyard.com/the-economist-usa-december-13-2025/ which is a PDF of the weekly The Economist. It has this issue on my current running macOS Tahoe 26.2

For what it's worth, that PDF is encoded using PyPDF2 which as far as I know, isn't 100% supported by Preview, Skim, PDFgear or even Adobe Reader. That's not likely to change. Just to add, all the aforementioned apps treat the file the same way.

Hello, guys

Thanks for your feedback and I will check the Safari refresh shortcut later. The Preview selection bug is when you open some (not all) PDF files and select some text, the app behaves wired such as it will automatically scroll upward, strange colors showing up, etc.

Thanks for the update regarding Safari

Moving forwards

Suggest splitting questions that have two separate and distinct issues

Doing so may garner more direct and individualized support

Otherwise and under the current question

One part gets addressed while the other falls by the wayside

Just saying

Have never experienced that Preview bug. Not in 26.2 or previous versions of Tahoe.

FWIW, I downloaded the PDF you posted and have no problems selecting text without it scrolling or getting "strange colors".
