MacOS Notes App, Cursor jumps back while typing

In Notes App, the cursor keeps jumping back while typing. This bug has previously been noticed in previous versions.

I tried removing all Speeling Corrections features. It worked for a while but the bug is appearing again.


Would you have an advice to remove this behaviour ?


Thank you.

This glitch shows up on the following devices:

a. 2025 Mac mini

b. M1 iPad Pro (12.9)

c. iPhone 16 pro


I believe I am experiencing the same glitch, specifically when writing in tables. This is very frustrating, and it makes writing in tables nearly impossible.


This is also happens when I attempt to write above or below the table; the text also glitches.


One particularly annoying way this shows up is when the glitch scrambles the letters, then autocorrect kicks in, finishing a completely different word, shunting the jumbled part of the original work to the end of the sentence.


This is making apple notes increasingly unusable for me. I'm sticking around for the cross compatibility, but I am thinking of shifting away from at this point.


If any devs see this; please fix this issue.
