This is probably a combination of your OS and some changes in Skim. Unfortunately, different OS versions behave very differently, and all have their own set of bugs. In some recent update we have worked around one of these bugs in several OS versions. But the workaround may have interfered with the timing with which we save the last viewed pages on some other OS versions, like 10.11 (the order in which things are closed down in documents differs greatly between OS versions, unfortunately). I am not in the position to test for every OS version, so this may be the case, even though I have tried very hard to guard against all kinds of things the OS may do to this. I just found one check that may be improved, and could perhaps have been the cause for this. So hopefully, the next version will fix this. One thing you could do for me is run the following command line argument in Terminal.app: defaults read net.sourceforge.skim-app.Skim.bookmarks recentDocuments If you look in particular at the first few items, are all the pageIndex values 0?
