Palm Rejection BIG Issue with 3rd Party Stylus
Dear Goodnotes Team,
I’ve been experiencing persistent issues with palm rejection while using a 3rd party stylus on Goodnotes, and I wanted to bring this to your attention.
While writing with my palm resting on the screen, unintended actions frequently occur — the floating menu (cut, copy, paste, etc.) often pops up, and in some cases, it even selects underlying text or content where my palm touches. This leads to the stroke I was making getting disrupted or vanishing altogether.
This not only causes missing portions in my writing but also severely hampers the flow and accuracy of note-taking, which is quite frustrating — especially during fast writing or lectures.
It would be extremely helpful if the app could:
Improve palm rejection sensitivity for 3rd party styluses.
Prevent the floating menu from interfering with or overriding stroke input.
Ensure that even if the floating menu appears, ongoing strokes are preserved and not lost.
Please refer to the attached videos for more clarity.
I appreciate your work on making Goodnotes such a powerful tool, and I hope this issue can be resolved in an upcoming update.
Best regards,
Dr, Gursimran

I have this issue with a stock surface pen on a microsoft surface. For me it just deletes the stroke I'm in the middle of drawing. Way too often. I mean about every second stroke, it vanishes. It happens when I rest my palm on the screen and my pinky makes contact with the screen and then it happens...
It's quite annoying and I think I'm going to move away from Goodnotes; I haven't had this issue with any of the other apps I've looked at.
