I use MS Edge PDF daily. Today (12/05/2025) the text box feature stopped functioning correctly. It looks fine when creating or adding info to an existing text box, but when you leave the formatting changes and/or disappears on screen. Re-entering the text box, everything looks fine. Also noticed today (for first time) when creating text box or editing existing, the font appears to be Times New Roman or similar but when posting it changes to Calibri or similar. In the past it was always a Calibri or similar when adding and after posting. Ther may be more as yet undiscovered issues, but I hope not!

Image 1 as created in the document (08/2025):

Image 2 when entering the same box (note font change starting 12/05/2025 for the first time):

Image 3 after leaving the text box without making any changes:

Re-entering the text box it will appear "normal" as in Image 2 (except for the font change)

Adding additional info to the text box, it will look fine while in the box:

But this is the result after posting the above (but re-entering the box, everything looks fine - again, except the font being different than posted:

Starting from scratch with a NEW text box has the exact same issues so not an option.

Any assistance would be appreciated - this is going to severely impact my work

Thank you!
