My bet would be on some compounding error from long usage also. I'm using Apple Notes and it fails in some random ways after keeping it open for 1-2 weeks: When I try to copy something I select, it copies some random stuff, dragging text won't work, I can check/uncheck todo boxes. Goes away when I restart it.

I ran into this in Notes as well. Restating Notes fixed it, but wasn’t my first instinct, as I view copy/paste as a system task and didn’t think it would be impacted within a single app. Seeing that I’m not the only one, I need to remember to restart notes at the first sign of an issue, rather than trying the action over and over trying to figure out what’s going on.

  Hopefully, seeing as you are not the only one, you figure out where to file a bug report and then file it too. And then it gets fixes. Ha, I am too used to it being more accessible to file a bug report, having spent most of my career with GNU/Linux (contributing and using since 90s).

Maybe the offsets themselves represent a binary number within that byte that corresponding to the bits within that byte. Maybe if you give it the right sequence, a message will emerge.

Notes has been super buggy for a while. The failure modes are so weird I don't even understand how it's possible for a text editor. E.g. text and selections rendered floating between or on top of lines of text. I wonder how they manage to bork it so hard.

  Did this possibly start when they added “live” collaboration (quotation marks placed very intentionally) to shared notes? [0] says that was in macOS Ventura 13.1 and iOS 16.2. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had to rewrite the text editing engine in Notes, or at least parts of it, to accommodate for this change. And if there’s anything more terrifying than modern Apple rewriting parts of macOS, it’s them doing it for any cloud-based functionality. shudders 0: https://techhub.social/@shantini/109508624631773033 https://techhub.social/@shantini/109508624631773033

    I started using a shared note last week and my sister in law edited a grocery list at the same time I did It duplicated the entire list on top of itself; I was laughing at how bad of a bug it was
