Preview Bug in OS Montery 12.5.1

The Preview bug, in which attempting to highlight a line of text in a pdf causes the cursor to jump back to a previous page or to select a full page of text, is still an issue with the newest update. This makes preview almost unusable for annotation purposes.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
