“Update” 17.1.1 not letting me add photos in notes…

Extremely frustrating. This is not an “update” → it is a “downdate”. All of a sudden after 17.1.1, Notes is not letting me add photos unless i manually go in and copy and paste photos, then it’s not letting the photos stack like they used to. Instead, it’s making each photo have its own line, rather than stacking them side by side. It’s glitching. The icon for photos is still there, and it allows me to select the photos…. it just will not follow thru with adding the photos.

It is still happening! Frustrating update. In Notes…. iT used to automatically default, making all photos “small” on the specified Note. Now, you have to select each photo in order to make it small. And they are not stacking side by side, depending on size. They are stacking each on their own line. So frustrating. And, there are several other word processing changes that are not improvements. Like, when going back to edit a word in a paragraph, it highlights the whole word instead of putting the cursor there.


The first screenshot is showing how the photos used to stack side by side, depending on size.



The second screenshot shows how the photos stack now after the update.

I can no longer add a long text message to a photo! Grrrr. No matter what font size i start with, when i paste in a long phrase, the font size reverts to extremely small, unreadable, in order apparently to fit all the text in one line. When i increase the font size, the text box grows HORIZONTALLY ONLY; i lose whatever text wont now fit into the text box. There are no handles on the box, so you can’t resize it to allow missing text to wrap to a new line. This is awful!!
