I am very aware of the bug and have been dealing with it for months. I had applied the above technique on an older macbook back in January and it worked well.
I bought a new macbook in April and started with a clean sytem. I faced the issue again but decided to give it a chance and wait for an update.
I install updates very regularly. Right now, I have the latest macOS Serria 10.12.6 (not yet yet high serria though) and the latest evernote version (6.12.3). At least, it's the latest version from the app store. From my perspective, it's all up-to-date.
I tried to edit a PDF this morning, I faced the issue again. I had been patient enough, so I took the time to tweak and apply this technique that had worked in the past.
Unless there is a process to effectively solve the issue, like a fresh install, I don't think this is resolved. Despite the fact that I follow automatic updates, this morning it wasn't working. At least not from my perspective.
