Bug: Reading Order Right-Click Context Menu Loses Items

As the title states, the right-click context menu is not consistent when in the Accessibility Reading Order tool. For example, when right-clicking tables to access the Table Editor and/or Edit Table Summary views, those items are sometimes not available.

With the Table Editor you can still at least access the floating Reading Order window to click open the Table Editor. However, when the Edit Table Summary menu item disappears (they always disappear in pairs), I have to manually save the PDF to refresh its context menu. Sometimes I have to close out completely. It appears random. I can go for 40 tables, then the next 5 I have to manually close out to refresh for each table. I cannot find a pattern for why the Table Editor option vanishes either.

    Rachit,

    Thank you for your attention. Unfortunately these are client PDFs and I am unable to share them. If it helps though, I have experienced this with a variety of PDFs from a variety of client courses. I really do not see a pattern in the behavior. Sometimes I can right-click a table in the Reading Order view to access the Table Editor menu option, but it's not there. However, after clicking around the same document to view other tables and then returning to the table in question suddenly the menu is normal and I can access the Editor or Summary items.

    There has been no sequence or count of tables before I experience this. It's seemingly random. Again, it's not one document as this occurs in most all of my PDFs with table structures, all from different sources.

    As time permits later this week, I will try to create a document with dummy tables to export in order to try to recreate this in something that I can share.

    Thank you again,

    - Noel
