Weird formatting behavior in Notes

Question

I use the Notes option in Mail quite a bit.
I always had some trouble with the formatting in Notes, but unfortunately, lately it is to the point where if copy and cut a line of text, and move the cursor to another part of the Note, then paste, the content appears at the bottom of the Note, and the cursor will not let itself be put there.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this, or avoid it?
Thanks.

The problem has always been an errant app that got stuck in a loop. It can happen any time, but is more likely to happen right after an update. My hypothesis is that the update process suspends running apps, and sometimes after the update they "lose their place" and spin their wheels trying to find it. (It's easier to say it that way then to talk about race conditions.) What will frequently fix it is to run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off. This terminates all processes, even those that cannot be killed from the Quick Launch screen.
You can also try to find the app; if it's email turning off any Push email accounts, rebooting, and turning them back on will frequently fix it. If it's a 3rd party app killing all apps in the Quick Launch will frequently fix it.
Sometimes just turning off the phone for a few minutes will fix it.
Restoring the phone as new will usually fix it, but restoring from backup may not, because the app state may be preserved in the backup.
It really just a matter of trying things like these one at a time. One of them will work.
Do you or Trevor have a CPU monitoring app you believe is a quality application?
I've tried several, and haven't found any that I like. I like Trevor's answer.
