Bug: Insert/replace comments no longer get automatically added
In a recent update commenting was broken again in Acrobat Reader (but not in Acrobat Pro).
Currently running Version 2024.003.20054 (Windows).
Expected behaviour (worked like this in the past, and in Pro):
- Selecting text then clicking Delete: Adds a delete/strikethrough comment (red line)
- Selecting text then typing new text: Adds a replace comment (blue line)
- Placing the cursor in text then typing: Adds an insert comment (blue triangle)
Current behaviour:
- Selecting text then clicking Delete: Works as intended
- Selecting text then typing new text: [NOTHING HAPPENS]
- Placing the cursor in text then typing: [NOTHING HAPPENS]
Some history:
This bug was first introduced with the "new" Acrobat interface, and a workaround was to switch to the old UI. It seemingly got fixed, but now the problem has returned, and changing to the old UI no longer works as a workaround. Rolling back to old versions of Acrobat is not a solution for us for security reasons, but at the same time, we NEED commenting to work efficiently (we have high volume and a lot of users who need this).
