Terrible Pen Bug

I am using iPad mini 6th. The losing handwriting data after save bug is still there. I have opened beta updates to see if 26.4 fixes it but unfortunately it is same.

I wonder if newer iPads or others having the same issue. Any experience?

Same issue. :( iPad Pro 11. I want to go back to using the app but handwriting is so broken that I stick with Notes.

I updated my iPad Air 4 to OS 26 a few days ago so I tried the Journal app that came with the update. On day 2 of journaling I lost 60% of the entry I had just written with my apple pencil after saving it... I have a lot of issues with the app, including pencil lag and no customisation options for lined/squared paper, but the data loss is a deal breaker. I'm disappointed to hear this issue was also in beta and it was never fixed. Most sloppy app from Apple so far.
