Strike through text no longer works in OS 26
I do the usual steps to strike through text, but nothing happens.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 26.0
In what application? That tidbit of information matters if you want help here.

Ok, I am able to replicate your problem...partially. It is something about the PDF format, probably a bug in Tahoe regarding the way it handles tables in PDFs. Here's a snippet of one of my statements, the payments section is a table (Preview now lets you select a cell as you can see from the blue box, that wasn't possible in Sequoia) but trying to apply strikethrough fails in the table entries. The purchases section is not a formatted table in the document, and strikethrough works there.
Bugs can be reported to Apple here:
As a workaround, you can use the markup feature in Preview to draw a line through an entry. Hold the Shift key to get a straight line. You can copy and paste that line over other entries to effectively achieve the same result as strikethrough.

Thank you. I'm going to use your workaround.
You’re welcome!
