I updated to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro. When I try to highlight two lines of text on Preview, the highlight overlaps, which looks really horrible. Is there a way to control the height (size) of the highlighting tool?

Not a bad question, but can you perhaps provide a simple screenshot to illustrate the issue? – Giacomo1968 Nov 28 '14 at 06:06

This is driving me crazy in OS X El Capitan as well(Preview v 8.1). – Puneet Sharma Sep 11 '16 at 13:37

First of all I'd suggest, that there are unwanted interactions with a non-apple app.
Did You look at the error- logfiles on the console?

This is a shortcoming and the workaround I use is to export your pdf as a ps(postscript) file. You can do this by printing a document and selecting to save the document as a postscript in the print dialog box. Once you do that, you can open the ps file and start highlighting and it doesn't overlap. The workaround is a pain but that is the only workaround for now.
I've also heard that you can also download Preview 7.0(mavericks) on Yosemite, and use that, but I haven't tried it myself.
