notes has become unusable since macOS Sequoia 15.2 update

I only just updated it and wish i didn't.


It changed all the font colours itself to all random ones, and when i try to change the colour back to what it was it keeps changing the colours itself again. Say i want to change it to purple it changes itself to red. I click on white to change the text, it turns it black. It has also changed all the font, including things that were in bold or italic. Sometimes when i am typing, the colours of the text changes again. Ive tried it in both dark mode and light mode and it does the same thing. Also keeps jumping to the top of the page whenever you try to scroll. I restarted it but no change.


No other problems with my mac, all other apps are running fine except notes. its basically unusable at this point.

I'm also experiencing the jumping while scrolling and typing. Additionally, notes.app is trying to autofill while I type despite disabling:

  • show inline predictive text (System Settings > Keyboards)
  • apple intelligence (System Settings > Apple Intelligence & Siri)
  • All substitutions (notes.app Edit > Substitutions)

For example, I tried writing "ar = " and it keeps suggesting "69,000". These hallucinations are driving me nuts!
