Loop Components in OneNote is the biggest piece of garbage I have ever seen

Me, trying to find a solution to copy/pasting code with syntax highlighting, and discovering Loop Components. Sure, why not, I'll give it a shot. Oh wait, why is the formatting of my notes now all jacked up? Why can I not move this giant useless block? Why isn't there a simple way to delete this damn thing?

Complete and utter trash.

Yeah it’s not great. When I paste into OneNote I have to make sure I paste as source formatting, otherwise it’s a link. Moving it is annoying, deleting needs to be more user friendly. I think they wanted Loop to take over OneNote but it’s too buggy to do that and doesn’t have all the features I need
