There is a huge bug in Skim that makes it unusable on long documents on macOS 10.11. The developer has stated that he will not fix this bug. 10.11 is the newest OS that I can run on my computer and I’m not going to buy a new computer just to use Skim. Jerry There are certainly no official forks. What is the problem with 10.11? Christiaan Hi Christiaan, On long documents there are large regions of white space in the main document area. The longer the document, the larger the white area. Sometimes the white area is at the top, sometimes at the bottom, and sometimes both in the same document. The size and placement can change with scrolled-to position. On documents greater than perhaps 200 pages the white space is the entire window. Also, the cursor position is read incorrectly so that e.g. attempting to highlight a line of text becomes a guessing game as to where to click to initiate the drag. I just downloaded a few old versions of Skim and have so far made it up to 1.4.30 which works OK. Jerry that sounds bad. But it also sounds like something over which we have zero control. This is a PDFKit bug, they display the PDF content. A fork would not help, as they would necessarily also depend on PDFKit. Weird you got it to work on older versions. Christiaan I continued the bisection over versions of Skim by downloading versions from the Skim web site and got all the way up to the current version, 1.4.38, without the bug reappearing! Then by chance I noticed that my “old” version of 1.4.38 had the “Launch in 32 bit mode” checkbox checked in the Get Info dialog in the Finder. Unchecking this box made the problem disappear. This is repeatable and so the problem seems to be related to 32-bit mode. Since there is no reason to run in 32-bit mode as far as I know there is no bug to be fixed. I don’t remember toggling this mode but I’m the only person to use this computer. :-\ Sorry for the hassle. Oddly, even now as I have set the mode to not-32-bit, launching Skim using my favorite app launcher, Spark, still results in the display problem appearing. Possibly the app launcher is finding a cached version in RAM or something. But launching by double-clicking the Finder icon results in correct operation.
