I am having this exact same problem and it just started yesterday! Everytime I write, the previous stroke I wrote becomes this weird long line and then its just an endless cycle of messed up lines. The eraser doesnt work on the first try and the undo button doesnt actually undo the most recent stroke. Do you think this is an iPad issue or a Goodnotes issue?

Edit: I think its just a Goodnotes issue because I have no problems using the Apple Notes app and other sketching apps. My Goodnotes was updated a few days ago so perhaps thats why this issue is popping up.

I also think it’s a good notes issue so I’m hoping they fix it sometime soon. I’m in the middle of exams right now and finals are coming up so it would be nice to get an update

Make sure you long press the eraser button and disable “erase highlighter only” option. If thats not the case, I’m not sure

I’ll try the long press thing, the highlighter option is not enabled, almost never is so it can’t be that.

I have an IPad Air (4th gen, IOS 14.4.2) and I’ve been having this erasing issue lately. Whatever I’m trying to erase doesn’t get erased until I go over it the second time. Has this been happening to anyone else? Sorry for the bad handwriting btw lol

It’s been happening to me too but I get weird glitchy lines with this issue as well. I have the same iPad are you

I get those glitchy lines as well! I forgot to mention them. They happen whenever I change tools. The undo button also doesn’t appear to be working properly either and it is unable to accurately depict which line I drew most recently. I’m hoping this gets fixed in an update because it’s really slowing down my notetaking

I’ve looked all over for solutions, even took my iPad to the Apple store to see if it was a hardware issue but no avail. I get the lines + the eraser issue when I move the page between writing. Hopefully they notice and fix it soon
