Black window in Notes

Recently purchased a new macbook pro (2024 14") and Notes is not displaying all 3 panels as it used to. The third subfolder panel is either black on full screen (see image below) or not there at all and you have to double click on the folder and it comes up in a seperate new window. In the previous version on my old mac I could get all 3 folders without going into full screen and I would really like to do that again. Any work arounds or fixes for this?




MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.2

I have no idea, but i would try quitting the Notes.app and relaunch it holding the Shift key down and see if your issue sorts itself.



Shut down the computer and restart is always worth the effort and compare your results.
