[Preview.app] How do I create text boxes at my cursor now?

[sodium.777]

In the old Preview clicking on the text box button while editing PDFs would put your cursor in a mode where text boxes were created where you clicked.

Now the text box button ONLY creates a single text box in the middle of the screen when clicked.

It is extremely inefficient for heavy note taking during lectures now 🙁

Is there to obtain the old functionality? If not where can i download the old Preview?

Thanks!

Filed a lot of reports to Apple regarding this "problem". They apparently did not care. Sucks.

But hey, doesn't at least crash anymore when you change the color of the annotation.

So no way to fix it?

Where can i find the download link the Mavericks' preview?

I see why they changed it: in the new Preview you can enable Corrections and Highlighting at the same time but still; this change is very annoying.

anybody find a link to mavericks preview? these changes are so annoying

also does anyone know how to disable the autosave feature. I tried the same tricks from mavericks (clicking ask to keep changes in system preferences-->general) and it no longer works. constantly saving when i am trying to annotate from video files is killing my productivity.
