Notes App Self Scrolls

I just filed a bug report for the Notes app as follows:


Area: Notes


Summary: When opening Notes with content that is larger than the open Notes App window, and attempting to edit the note, the entire note content scrolls automatically to the top although the cursor remains where text editing was inserted. Typing on the Smart Keyboard will allow text entry however the note insistently keeps scrolling to the top regardless of how often or how much text is entered into the note. Scrolling the note manually with your touch will stop the action from occurring, however that is intermittent and sometimes will scroll automatically as well. This issue will occur on both iPad and iPhone and regardless of the app is used full screen on the iPad or in Split Screen. When the Notes window is not focused and the user is engaging an app in the other split screen window, the Note window does not scroll, only when it is the focused App.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Notes

2. Begin to edit the note by scrolling down and selecting text or placing your cursor to enter text.

3. More likely to happen with a note which has enough text to enable scrolling of the note.


Expected Results: The note body of text should not scroll while editing or entering text and should remain where placed either by scrolling to the place of entry with using touch or with moving the cursor with the direction keys of the Smart Keyboard.


Actual Results: The note scrolls on its own without intervention.


Version: IOS Beta 10.0(14A5261v)


Configuration: iPad Pro 12.9" and iPhone 6S both with iOS beta 10.0

Is there an alternative to using Apple Notes? I give up.

March 12, 2023 and still no solution from Apple. It’s very frustrating when you’re typing in notes and it suddenly jump to the top. Apple, when you’re done counting your money, can you fix this small problem? Thank you.

I've just encountered this in march 2023 after no problems for 8 years. In the file that gave me the problem I'd copy pasted some text from a web page. I copied the whole file to a text editor then copied it back again. Problem disappeared.

The issue is still there. I wrote the entire text now, when i delete or edit it jumps up and down. MacBook Air (M1, 2020) mac os 11.2

Please.... for the love of Apple- will you just address this issue already. What a disappointment! Trying to copy notes, I have to split up my notes from one chapter into several sections because it won't allow me to complete one section of notes without auto-scrolling halfway back up the document. What is going on with this?
