IPad Notes: typed lines go past margin without returning to left margin.

iPad Notes is suddenly not justifying each line. Specifically: while typing a note, the cursor does not automatically return to the left margin upon hitting the right margin. It just keeps going past where I can see what’s being typed. This just began this morning. Suggestions? TIA.

iPad Air, iPadOS 26

Hi there

Please try this

Most word-wrap glitches are instantly resolved by clearing the app from your iPad's active memory.

Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and pause in the middle to bring up the App Switcher.
Locate the Notes app preview window and swipe it firmly upward to close it completely.
Reopen Notes to see if text begins wrapping correctly.

I did that and the typing still runs off the right margin. I noticed this happens only on the notes that are linked to my Yahoo account(how that happened in the first place is a mystery). It does NOT happen under the regular notes section.
