I just bought a brand new iPad Pro 11 inch an updated it to iOS 16.1.1, the latest iOS. I have noticed the problem occasionally in the past, but it is now worse than ever. I also use notes extensively and have many long notes. Yesterday I noticed that every time I try to edit text on a long note, it jumps to the top of the note automatically. It is infuriating. It appears to have been a problem for more than five years. Why cannot Apple fix this.? They are marketing products for productivity and this is a huge productivity hit.

Re: cursor problem in notes app. I just filed a bug report today (11/17/22) because this is still happening - on notes in ios 16.1.1 on an Ipad pro - when pressing lightly with finger or stylus the page in a long note responds by jumping to the top of the note. What should happen is a cursor should appear where your finger is placed and the keyboard should appear also. this happens regardless of whether rje notes are “online” (icloud) or “offline” (on device only” and occurs with both a finger or a stylus.
