Acrobat Reader DC: Text Boxes Sometimes Require Multiple Clicks before Typing Is Allowed
I'm using Acrobat Reader DC, build 20.9.20067.384717, on Mac OS 10.15.5 (Catalina). I mark up textbook proof pages in PDF.
Often, when I select the Text Box tool to insert a box to explain a change I made, the focus immediately shifts away from the text box and I have to click multiple times in the box until the focus returns. The problem seems to happen more often when I select the Text Box tool and then click and drag to restrict the size (to fit in the margins of the page). I can usually simply click on the page with the Text Box tool activated to get the default shape and size without losing focus, but then I need to resize the box.
I have no clue what could be causing this. I'm running the latest version and have restarted several times. Any thoughts?
(Normally I use Acrobat Pro 2017 under a paid perpetual license, but suddenly the program insists on being activated with Adobe, and Adobe is working on figuring out why. Till then, I'm using Reader.)
