Re: PDF annotation changes -- comments

That sounds likely, 'though why I have not experienced it before 14.0.6, I'm not sure. It also seems to be intermittent (on all 3 macs!) - I'll try the safe boot and also take a look in the console logs as well as trying to work out under what circumstances it happens.
