    Still having issues with apple pen intermittently switching itself back to type mode. Then to get to return to draw mode I have to click my One note page, which causes keyboard to appear, or it will not allow me to re-select the pen I was just using. I have scribble off and just to rule out switched out my apple pen2 tip. Any other suggestions b/c it becomes quite annoying went I can even write one line w/o it switching multiple times! Thanks.

    Same issue here. It is making onenote completely unusable. I hand write all my notes.

    I've turned off Scribble. I have deleted and reinstalled one note. Updated IOS to latest version 16.5. Ipad pro 10.9, latest model. gen 2 apple pencil

    I read about turn off autoformating for apple pencil? where do I find this?

    Please stop with the automatic reply and give some concrete steps on how to fix this. It's a major issue.

    I looked at What's New and saw Scribble; It was enabled in iPad Pencil Settings. I disabled it and AutoFormat Pen deactivated. Problem solved for me! (Solution might help with others?) Thanks for taking the time and effort to follow up on my question!

    I've noticed this as well since the last update. I though it was just me at the start but know this wasn't this unusable before.

    It makes me look like I dont know what I'm doing in front of clients.

    iPad Mini running 16.4.1(a)

    OneNote 17.72.2
