Mac Notes App + Table, Cursor jumps back when typing fast.

when typing fast in a table in the notes app the cursor will jump back and mess up what you're typing. very annoying. the only way ive figured out how to fix it is to quit notes on mac, quit notes on iphone, reopen mac notes and then it doesnt seem to be an issue.

so i'm thinking it has something to do with icloud sync?

any thoughts on a fix?

i tried turning off all the text input > input sources > ..automatic/text predict ect..

iCloud for Windows Notes Check-marks Not Working I've tried on three different Browsers. The check-mark feature in Notes does not view or work properly in Firefox, Edge or Brave browsers. This started with Firefox several months ago, so I simply began using Edge for my iCloud landing page. Then the same problem began in Edge last week. I tried a new browser today, Brave, and the same problem exists there. Notes works perfectly on my Apple devices like iPhone and iPad, so the problem must be with iCloud for Windows. Any help or suggestions? I'm stunned I don't find more chatter on this problem. It's been reported in the Firefox help communities for several months.

Cursor Jumping Issue in Notes App When Editing Ongoing Note Hi, I've read several threads about this issue (though none that are open or resolved). Has anyone found a solution to this frustrating problem? For me, it happens in any note I’m actively adding to, like an ongoing list. I use Notes for work to track bookkeeping tasks for a restaurant. I need to update my list of weekly issues so they can be referred to later if needed. However, using Notes has become increasingly difficult because, as I type, the cursor keeps jumping to a previous position. This happens frequently, especially each time I return to the app. 'Appreciated
