Ah now we are getting somewhere. I am guessing you mean the "File ->
Page Setup" menu? Then in that menu, the orientation shows
incorrectly (i.e. the first one is clicked).
However! If I start a new tex file with the same content, then it
works just fine.
I tested a bit further, and this is my conclusion: If I create a file
on regular mode (non-landscape), compile and show it in Skim, and
then later, while the pdf is still open in Skim, I change the tex
code to produce landscape and update Skim, then the "Page Setup"
setting will not be updated accordingly. On the other hand, closing
the pdf file and reloading fixes this.
So to reproduce it:
1) Create plain tex document, compile and open in Skim.
2) Look in "Page Setup", the first orientation option should be showing.
3) Add the line: \usepackage[landscape]{geometry} and compile. The
pdf in Skim gets updated. The file shows as landscape.
4) Look in "Page Setup", the first orientation option is still selected.
5) Close and reopen the file, and go to "Page Setup", the second
orientation option will be selected.
So could this be related to the refresh feature somehow?
