Could you try the following:

Make sure you quit Skim, open Terminal.app and type the following on a
single line and hit enter:

defaults write -app Skim SKDisableExtendedPDFViewAccessibility -bool true

Then see if the problem goes away.

You can undo this again by typing the following in Terminal.app:

defaults delete -app Skim SKDisableExtendedPDFViewAccessibility
