Note taking in Apple Notes with pencil

While I am in the middle of note taking with the Apple pencil. The notes go from being converted to typed notes in the notepad to a text box without me creating text box. This is a new issue in the past couple days. I notice a new arrow with a line too.

This has continued even after updating and restarting the iPad.

Is there any way to make stop this?

Thanks!

iPad Pro (5th generation)

My older version iPad is not doing this.

Notes app is creating unwanted text boxes I have just added an Apple Pencil 2 to my iPad Mini 6. When handwriting in the Notes app, the writing, when converted to text, is added to a text box. How can I stop this happening? Also, moveable yellow lines, which begin with an arrowhead, appear on the Note screen, in both a quick note and an app Note. I don't require these lines, nor do I understand their purpose. Finally, the double tap function, set to switching between the Apple Pencil 2 and the rubber, will not rub out text. The Apple Pencil I bought is a bonafide Apple product purchased from Argos in the UK. I have tried resetting the iPad and the software is up to date. Advice welcomed. Thank you.

Since you've already restarted your iPad and updated your iPadOS, it'd be best to contact Apple Support directly. They will be in the best position to help you. Get Support
