Calculation results are not updating in Apple Notes post updating to Sequoia 15.1

I'm sure this didn't happen in 15.0.1 but now that I've updated to 15.1 Math Notes on my Mac are not updating the result when I change one of the figures in the calculation.


For instance, both copied and pasted from Apple Notes with the calculation wrong in the second example because it didn't update like it used to in 15.0.1:


TestA=400

TestB=100

TestC=5

TestA+TestB+TestC = 505 (Correct)


Then when I update say TestA to 300 the total should re-calculate to 405 but it just stays the same at 505:


TestA=300

TestB=100

TestC=5

TestA+TestB+TestC = 505 (Wrong)


I was expecting the calculation to update to 405 but it stayed at 505, in Sequoia 15.0.1 it did update, now it doesn't

Okay, I think I have found the bug causing the problem.

If I add a link into the note to another note it breaks the update of the calculations in that note.


With a link in the note the calculations no longer update, I then removed the link, deleted the answers, re-entered them by typing = and it started working consistently again.


This is a repeatable bug on my setup with macOS Sequoia 15.1 on a M3 MacBook Air
