IPad Notes: typed lines go past margin without returning to left margin.

iPad Notes is suddenly not justifying each line. Specifically: while typing a note, the cursor does not automatically return to the left margin upon hitting the right margin. It just keeps going past where I can see what’s being typed. This just began this morning. Suggestions? TIA.

Hi there

Please try this


Most word-wrap glitches are instantly resolved by clearing the app from your iPad's active memory.

  • Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and pause in the middle to bring up the App Switcher.
  • Locate the Notes app preview window and swipe it firmly upward to close it completely.
  • Reopen Notes to see if text begins wrapping correctly.

I did that and the typing still runs off the right margin. I noticed this happens only on the notes that are linked to my Yahoo account(how that happened in the first place is a mystery). It does NOT happen under the regular notes section.
