Why are my notes messed up after iOS9 update?

What the flip Apple?!

I updated my iPad Air 2 to iOS 9 today. It included an update to the Notes app.

Somehow, the update has exchanged all the Returns in my nicely organized lines of text, for spaces.

Now I have to go through 100+ notes and put the line breaks back in, so all my separate lines of information aren't one big glob of text at the top of the note.

Example:

BEFORE UPDATE:

Shopping List:

Bread

Mayonnaise

Cheese

Dog Food

Paper Towels

AFTER UPDATE:

Shopping List: Bread Mayonnaise Cheese Dog Food Paper Towels

APPLE! PLEASE Please please...don't go the way of Microsoft and make your loyal users dread updating their devices, for fear of finding some hidden glitch that makes things worse instead of better!! I can understand something like this happening with 3rd party apps whose code may have incompatibilities, but THIS IS A CORE APP! It's un-deleteable...it's the simplest app in iOS...it doesn't even have a sorting option! It's an iron anvil of an app! How in THE FLIP can you jack it up??!!

Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone have a work around?

I seriously doubt a patch can fix this. The information in my notes has permanently changed.

No patch can go through and figure out what is supposed be a line break, and what is supposed to be a space.

In all fairness...my iCloud notes seem to be unaffected. It's only the notes stored on my device.

I wanted to update my iPhone today, but am pensive now.

Since I always do a full, manual backup of my devices before a major update...I will Restore Backup and see if I can archive just the notes on my ipad somewhere. Perhaps a sync with Outlook will do the trick.
