I've run into a weird problem in Preview over the last week or so (late 2015 Macbook Pro, macOS 10.15.4). I use Preview heavily to view PDFs for work. I normally have the zoom set to "automatically resize," so that it fills the width of the window, which allows me to navigate forward or back a page with the left and right arrow keys.

Over the last week, it zooms in just a tiny bit more. The document still fills the window width, but a little bit of the grey bars on the side is off screen, so that when I press the left or right arrow keys, it scrolls left or right instead of going to the previous or next page.

The only "solution" I've found is to zoom out once, but this zooms out quite a bit, which can leave the text hard to read, depending on the PDF.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
