Original story (published on November 05, 2021) follows:
macOS 12 Monterey is the successor to Big Sur and the latest version of Apple’s operating system. Released on October 25 this year, the OS has had several bugs and issues in its beta testing but that’s totally understandable.
However, after the release of the stable version, many came forward and reported a number of bugs and glitches. The number of issues faced by users has already frustrated a lot of users who upgraded their system to macOS 12 Monterey.
Some recent issues include Spatial Audio was not working with Apple Music after updating to Monterey, with others complaining that the Quick Look preview was not working in the Finder app.
That being said, macOS 12 Monterey users are facing another issue with the Finder app where multiple PDFs open in preview windows instead of opening in tabs.
Those who updated to the latest by Apple say that the “Open files in one window” option in the general settings does not seem to work either. The macOS Finder app is Apple’s default file manager and explorer similar to Windows Explorer.
It is interesting to note that the bug has already made an appearance during macOS 12 Monterey Beta and seems to have made it to Monterey 12.1 Beta.
People are frustrated since the issue is making it impossible for them to work with multiple PDFs simultaneously. Many are wondering how it got past the developers and made it to the stable version of macOS 12 Monterey.
With Apple yet to acknowledge the issue, it still remains unknown how long it will take the developers to fix the issue. When the issue is fixed or acknowledged by Apple developers, we will update this article so make sure you stay tuned.
Update 1 (November 12)
IST 12:56 pm: This issue has finally been addressed in macOS 12 Beta 2, much to the relief and delight of affected users.
