Draw instead of swipe in notes ios 13

Hi there!

I used to make notes with my apple pencil in the right hand and swipe through the document with my left hand.


Since iOS 13 I can’t do that anymore. It has turned into drawing with the pencil on the right hand and drawing some more with the left hand, or I should turn of the writing by clicking the pencil icon in the right upper corner.


But as soon as the pencil hots the ipad, the icon blinks on a again, and I can’t swipe before I deselect that same icon again.


It is adding so much steps to going over a document, really not an improvement.


Anyone an idea how I can shut this off?

iPad, iOS 9
