Is anyone here unable to copy text in PDF files after clicking and using the ‘zoom in/out’ or ‘toggle thumbnail’ feature? After refreshing the page (F5), I can copy the text again, but I work with a large number of files, so having to refresh every single file is very time-consuming. I’ve been experiencing this issue since the beginning of this week, while everything was working normally in previous weeks.
