Q: Preview annotation & display not properly working in El Capitan
- I recently upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan (10.11.4). On my first try of annotation with El Capitan, I can double click and highlight or strikeout, but I cannot insert text nor shapes (e.g. rectangles).
- When I insert text, I see a big "Text" in red, but, contrary to previous version, there is no way I can edit the "Text". In Yosemite, I would just type text on my keyboard, but now, with El Capitan, nothing happens. Alternatively, I could double-click "Text", but again nothing happens.
- When I insert a shape (rectangle), I am unable to move it, as the cursor remains in text mode.
2. A second problem with Preview is that when I open a PDF file, it is appended to the previous PDF file that I was viewing. When I click print, both files get printed, which is an annoying waste of paper!
Are these general problems with Preview in El Capitan? I must say that when I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, I was so disappointed with Preview annotation that I installed the Mavericks version (7) of Preview next to the standard version (8). I no longer have the Preview7 app, which I deleted. But perhaps, I need to clean up some library files too?

Umm, Tunnelblick was recommended by my Systems Administrators at work. If I quit Tunnelblick and Preview, and relaunch Preview, both issues have disappeared! I propose to let things run until Thursday evening, to make sure that the issues do not return without Tunnelblick, before closing the discussion.
