Make a reliable way for users to set a default for either the "pan" or "text selection" tools. You will see both issues have been raised in online help forums and suggested on this platform.

I use Acrobat mostly for reading documents. I am so tired of inadvertantly highlighting text or selecting images every time I left click and drag the mouse in an effort to pan because the system defaults to the Select tool rather than the Pan tool.

YES - I have deselected "Always display the keyboard selection cursor" under Accessibility.

YES - I have selected "Make Hand tool select text & images" and "Make Hand tool read articles" under General.

YES - I've read support articles that repeatedly instruct users that the above steps will resolve the issue.

NO - Taking the above steps does not resolve the issue on my machine.

YES - I am a paying subscriber.

NO - I'm probably not a moron. I do have a couple engineering degrees.

NO - I never take the time to engage large corporate companies.

YES - I am so very tired of screwing around with this obvious software problem.

NO - I shouldn't have to fish through the registry to remedy this problem.

PLEASE FIX this bug!
