Apple Pencil Issue - Writing Disappearing. iPad Pro 5th Gen

When Hello. I’ve been using the Apple Pencil recently and have an issue. Sometimes when I take screen shots, edit with markup, add an open square, then try to write inside the square, the Apple Pencil edits inside the box disappear. If I write or draw before adding the box, it seems to work fine. I'm using the pencil to write this message.


I need to watch some more videos because I can't figure out how to get some characters like “…” and cannot delete a period or a 1 or a l. Basically, any character in a small space. Thanks!

iPad, iPadOS 15
