Critical Rendering Bug in PencilKit on iPad with "More Space" Display Mode & Apple Pencil Hover Interaction
There is a significant rendering issue in PencilKit when using an iPad set to "More Space" display mode, combined with an Apple Pencil that supports hover functionality (e.g., Apple Pencil 2). This problem affects all applications that use PencilKit, including Apple's own Notes and Quick Note. The issue results in flickering black borders and subtle jittering while drawing, which is especially noticeable during tasks requiring precise handwriting, such as writing mathematical expressions. Due to the short strokes and frequent lifts and drops of the pencil, the jitter is much more pronounced, leading to visual discomfort and even dizziness after extended use. Steps to Reproduce: Open Settings on your iPad. Navigate to Display & Brightness > Display Zoom > More Space. Switch to the More Space display mode. Open the Notes app or trigger Quick Note from any application by swiping from the bottom-right corner. Start drawing or writing using the Apple Pencil (with hover functionality) in the writing area. Observe the display anomalies as you hover and write: Flickering black borders appear intermittently around the writing area. The strokes show subtle jittering whenever you lift and lower the pencil. This is particularly disruptive when writing short, precise strokes, such as those in mathematical expressions, where the frequent up-and-down motion makes the jitter more apparent. Expected Results: Smooth and stable drawing experience with no visual artifacts or jittering during interactions with the Apple Pencil, regardless of the display zoom settings. Actual Results: Flickering black borders intermittently appear during drawing. Jittering of strokes is noticeable, particularly when lifting and lowering the Apple Pencil for short strokes. This disrupts precise writing tasks, especially in cases like mathematical notation, where frequent pen lifts and short strokes make the jitter much more apparent. This can lead to discomfort (e.g., dizziness) after extended use. System-Wide Impact: This issue affects all apps that utilize PencilKit, including third-party apps such as Doodle Draw (link). Since PencilKit is a core framework, the rendering bug significantly degrades the user experience across multiple productivity and note-taking applications. Similar Reports: There are numerous discussions about this issue online, indicating that many users are experiencing the same problem. Reddit Discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/ipad/comments/1f042ol/comment/ljvilv6/ Apple Support Thread Additionally, a feedback report (ID: FB15166022) related to this issue with Notes has been previously filed, but the bug remains unresolved. This bug severely impacts the usability of PencilKit-enabled apps, especially during tasks that involve frequent, precise pencil strokes, such as writing mathematical expressions. We kindly request the development team investigate this issue promptly to ensure a smooth, stable experience with the iPad's "More Space" display mode and Apple Pencil hover interaction.

Folder-level search option in Notes app
Hello Apple team, I would like to request a feature to include a search option within each folder in the Notes app, both on MacBook and iPhone. Currently, the global search function searches all notes, which can be overwhelming when dealing with a large number of notes (I have over 700+ notes). A folder-level search option would allow users to quickly find specific notes within a designated folder, making organization and retrieval more efficient. This feature would be a valuable addition to the Notes app, and I believe it would benefit many users who rely on the app for note-taking and organization. Thank you for considering my request!" Additionally, you can also mention the benefits of this feature, such as: Improved note organization and management Enhanced productivity and time-saving Better user experience and satisfaction By providing clear and concise feedback, you can help Apple understand the value of this feature and consider implementing it in future updates.

Catch the «Swipe Finger from Corner» event/notification ?
Hello, Our application communicates with our hardware to control a motor. For security reasons, if an alert, popup or window appears, we must stop the motor immediately. I haven't found how to detect (event ?, notification ?, delegate ?) the window if a user swipe their finger to the (bottom right) corner of the screen to display the «Quick note». The bottom left corner (screenshot) works fine, the motor is stopped. Is there a way to capture an event or notification when the «Quick Note» window is displayed or cleared ? Thanks,
