May be a bug since the format bar disappeared when you started typing in the note component, and didn’t have a Done button, but you do have to click the Done button once you are finished editing. Otherwise it won’t be saved.

It might be another issue but “done” doesn’t show up in overlay view. I tried to save using another view but it doesn’t work as expected. Can you show me how you do it please?
