I've been using the drawing tools to mark up a PDF, including the text hightlight, lines, rectangles, and ovals. They were working just fine but suddenly new rectangles and ovals remain invisible after drawing them. I can click in the area where they were placed and an outline box appears to let me edit their settings but they still remain invisible. Changing the properties including thickness, colour, fill, etc, none will change this behaviour. The existing rectangles and ovals are still visible but not new ones. I've tried on other documents and cannot create new ovals or rectangles. Lines, arrows and other annotation tools seem to be still working. I tried rebooting my pc and also the "Repair Installation" and still not fixed.
Using Reader DC version 2019.010.20069

Can you share with us a file that has these "invisible" markups? Use Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.

Update: I opened the same pdf on a different PC and everything is working. No issues with the drawing tools. Both machines are Windows 10 Pro and both are using Reader DC version 2019.010.20069. At this point, should I un-install and re-install?
