Preview crashes on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil marquee tool

I'm using an 11-inch, 4th generation iPad Pro, running iOS26.3. When I use the Preview app with my Apple Pencil, the app crashes every time I switch to the marquee highlight tool. Any ideas what might be the problem?

I can find no direct references to a "marquee tool" in the iPad Preview App documentation. By contrast, this term is used in context of some other third-party Apps.


Available documentation for the iPad Preview App can be found within the iPad User Guide. Here is a direct link to the relevant section of the Guide:
