Hello Vianney,
Based on your observations and recent reports from other users, this behavior is likely caused by corrupted formatting or metadata in older notes following the latest Sticky Notes update. This can result in:
Cursor jumping unpredictably
Unintended formatting (e.g., bold text)
Text reordering or skipping lines
Notably, the issue does not occur in new blank notes, which confirms that the problem is tied to legacy content rather than hardware or account settings.
Until a permanent fix is released, we recommend the following steps:
1. Manually Recreate Notes Without Copy-Paste Instead of copying old content directly, try retyping the text into a new note. This avoids transferring hidden formatting issues.
2. Use Plain Text Editor as a Bridge If retyping is not feasible:
Copy the old note into Notepad (which strips formatting)
Then copy from Notepad into a new Sticky Note
3. Export and Archive Notes To preserve older notes without using Sticky Notes:
Copy content into a document editor like Word or OneNote
Save them as reference files until the issue is resolved
4. Check for App Updates Regularly Microsoft is actively improving Sticky Notes integration with OneNote. Keep an eye on updates via the Microsoft Store or Windows Update.
