Thanks for reporting this issue.
Does it happen with that specific document or with any document ? Are you using the tabbed UI ? 
Could it be a duplicated of bug 167956 ?
Comment 2 Liz Lee 2025-08-22 18:56:35 UTC 
you are right, it indeed does work when i switch to the "Standard Toolbar" UI Mode.


the file is not the only one being affected, but there are also files that once have been created with a version prior to 25.8. that are not affected.


i uploaded a "good file" that was originally created with a version prior to 25.8. that is not affected.
