Notes app / text formatting problem

Good morning everyone,


I heavily use the native Notes app to take notes and post social content and I have encountered a formatting problem that only happens to me when I use this app.


When I copy text from Notes into other apps, it often automatically forms as "blocks" at the end of some sentences that mess up the whole structure of the text:



What are they? Why they form and possibly how to prevent/remove them?


Thank you!


PS. Sorry for the off topic question: is there an Italian version of this support forum?

1 - Suggest restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time -Normal.


2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


3 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.


4 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then this appears to be a System Wide issue.


5 - Suggest downloading the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.


The application is free or paid from added features. 


Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).



It will take a Snap Shot -  both the hardware and software.

Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.

The Below is a " Copy and Paste " from Apple Notes and do not see any Block at end of the paste. The exact same Copy and Past into a Pages document produces no such Block either.


Is this a New Issue ? If Yes, what exactly changed on this computer ?


Is this an Old Issue ? If Yes, what actions has the user taken to fix this issue ?


Reliable , accurate, details and context will really help to pinpoint a possible solution.
