Issue with Text Correction Markup Tool in Adobe Pro XI on a Mac automatically deleting first character

Question

Hi,this is a citation from a question that was stated in 2014.Issue with Text Correction Markup Tool in Adobe Pro XI on a Mac automatically deleting first characterI am publishing this again, slightly updated, because the bug is not fixed for me.Whenever I use the Text Correction Markup Tool, I highlight a word/phrase/sentence and then begin to type in the replacement, the first letter is automatically highlighted and then deleted when the second letter is typed. So, every word/phrase/sentence I type is missing its first letter.It is very annoying.Several people have encountered the issue.A fix was promised already in 2014.Was the promised fix done and just needs some setting in the preferences? For me, the problem has not been resolved so far.I use a Mac, Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.20.17 on Sierra

It was fixed in Acrobat DC. I would recommend just typing a space or a tab for the first character and then beginning your text correction markup.
