The View - New Acrobat experience breaks Edit - Add Text
The New Acrobat Pro experience has broken the Edit - Add Text feature.
In the old experience, if one clicked on the "Edit" icon then all existing objects such as text boxes would be shown and one could edit text inside them. If one clicked on the "Add Text" icon then those existing objects would no longer show their boxes nor be editable so one could position the cursor over such a box and add text which would create a new text box. This is the way it is supposed to be and lets one easily add Text to an existing PDF file anywhere in the file.
In the new Acrobat experience, clicking on Add Text does NOT turn off editing of existing text boxes so placing the cursor over an existing text box causes new text to be added to the existing text box and does NOT create a new text box in the desired position for adding text. This is a bug. There is NO reason one would want to edit existing text boxes when adding a new text box. One WANTS to be able to add a new text box over (on top of) an existing text box if desired as that let's one position the text where they want and not be forced to simply add text to the existing box at a non-changeable position.
