Hello,

Are you using an Apple Pencil with your iPad when this happens?

Notes on iPad - page jumps up the page when trying to write. Hey - this has been asked a few times by various people and I've just spent an hour on chat with Apple Support where we found the issue. Its actually an expected feature! If you notice it doesn't do it on every note but when it does happen there's a yellow line with a node at the left hand side? Its apparently a separator that allows for separation of drawing and text - it acts as a finder for the 'cursor'. You can force one in by adding a graph then selecting the drawing tool again - but you cat remove it. So workaround is, open a new note! Would be interested to see if its the same for everyone with the issue? Please feedback!

Hello,

Notes will automatically open the sketch input whenever Apple Pencil is being used.
