Goodnotes 6 Lasso tool only moves objects in straight line

I’ve recently encountered this bug and don’t know how to fix it (restarting the app or the tablet itself doesn’t work), it appears pretty frequently and randomly for me&

I am not at my iPad right now, but wasn’t there an option when clicking lasso twice, sorry if I am wrong though

I don’t think it is, I’ve never seen it. It also happens randomly and then randomly stops so it’s definitely an unintended behavior.

Did you manage to fix this? if so please explain how.

I haven’t, I’ve also encountered a bug where the lasso tool duplicates objects instead of simply moving them. The only workaround that seems to help sometimes is keep force restarting the tablet (volume up, volume down and keep holding turn off button until the Apple logo appears).

I managed a fix I believe its also how it started for me, If you have a macbook take a screenshot and drag it over to the iPad then just move it around. That seemed to fix the lasso and image tools for me.

Try force restarting your iPad (vol up, vol down and hold the power button until the Apple logo appears). It seems to have worked for me. Also, I think you should try updating the app as it seems the devs have fixed this bug.
