Hi Esther, Thank you as ever for the response.
I hope I'm not violating any NDA here but I'm on a pre-release build of the OS. I can confirm that this behaviour isn't replicated with Skim. Indeed, on a side note, I recently updated to the latest version of Skim and lots of the issues I'd previous had with that application have gone. I will attempt to implement the suggestions and report back. I'll say though that this behaviour *seems* to be similar across several machines running the latest build. I've bugged this with Apple.
