[QUOTE="John Chambers, post: 1776732, member: 346262"] Well, it's been about a month, and I'm still seeing the problem. I understand the suggested View->Hide Edit Toolbar, but the problem is that sometimes the View menu has "Show Edit Toolbar" when the edit toolbar is showing. Clicking on that does nothing, probably because the edit toolbar is already showing. But clicking on it doesn't change the "Show" to "Hide". And I still haven't spotted anything correlated with this misbehavior. The only thing noticeable is that fairly often, it's followed by the other misbehavior I described: I've spotted a typo in the document, edited the (plain text) source, rebuilt the .pdf file, clicked on the Preview window -- and Preview pops up a complaint that the file has been edited by another program. Of course it has, and I want Preview to reload it as usual so I can proofread my change and the rest of the document. But this is a dead end, because there's no way to get Preview to do anything but complain that the document has changed. The only "solution" seems to be to kill -9 Preview and restart it, which can be really annoying when you have a dozen Preview windows open in three desktops, showing the current forms of all the documents I'm working on. Both of these strike me as obvious bug in Preview, but maybe I'm just misunderstanding it. Maybe it's not intended to be used for proofreading? [/QUOTE]
