Apple Pencil Pro Not working when squeezing for Tool Palette

Only a couple days into my iPad Pro M4 and Apple Pencil Pro and I am ecstatic. If anyone is on the fence to upgrade, do it.

My issue is with Apple Pencil Pro and the selection for Tool Palette. It will not pop up. I changed it to free form and it works great. Any suggestions?

iPad Pro (M4, 2024)

I am on my second iPad Air M2 11 inch and Pencil Pro in one week ! Both exhibit the same problem - when in either Notes or Freeform squeezing brings up the tool palette and allows me to select a new tool but the colour selector does not work. Trying to select a new colour just places a dot of the original colour on the page - no colour selection. A similar thing happens when I try to select the three dots at the right hand end of the tool pallet.


iPadOS is the latest (17.5.1)


Anyone else seen this or have a fix for this ?
