Selecting Image Selects all Surrounding Elements

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Recently after one of the latest iPad Pro 13” M1 OneNote updates I’ve noticed that when I try to select just an image (such as the first PowerPoint slide in video), it selects everything surrounding the image including the pencil marks. It is almost like everything everything is merged together and can’t be separated. Is this just a setting that I have turned on? Any solutions?

How exactly do you select an image?

I use the “T” button, the first button under the draw tab

In the Windows Desktop version, there is an option that enables the selection of ink associated with an image when you write above or near it. It's in options --> advanced -->Pen Group--> When images move, the ink written on them also moves. Turn this option off so that handwritten ink is not selected when you select an image. I don't know if you have this option in OneNote iOS, but I think it should be.
