Preview goes haywire when annotating

For a few weeks now, whenever I try to annotate a PDF, after a few operations, all the pages scroll down super fast and when I go back to where I was and try to finish my annotation, it does it again. I happens with different PDFs of different origins, mostly created on my own computer. Bug? It doesn't seem to be related to an OS update.

Preview version Version 11.0 (1043)

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.2

buggy, yes...

To be proactive you can file a bug report /submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple


Preview is a great muti-purpose app but not a true PDF editing software,


try a true PDF editor and compare your results, there are many, here are a few examples:


Acrobat Reader / Adobe Acrobat DC

https://get.adobe.com/reader/


PDFpen / Nitro

https://pdfpen.com/pdfpen/


pdfExpert

https://pdfexpert.com/


Master PDF Editor
