Handwritten note disappears from iPad Notes app, typed text remains… Why!?

Happens on new and existing notes. The note itself is not deleted, but the handwriting vanishes, nowhere to be found!

1. Open new or existing note in Notes on iPad
2. Open Notes later on iPad or Mac
3. Wait for the notes to sync

Expected behavior: the new note appears on Mac and remains on iPad.

Actual behavior: the note disappears from iPad and does not appear on Mac.

I checked synch settings, iCloud for Notes is enabled on both devices.

Turned off “shake to undo,” checked "Recently Deleted," my note is not there.

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks!
