I'm getting the same error message when I try using Notes, and here's what it shows in the logs for each attempt:

I do have the exact same problem and the logs look the same, too.

[GuestJim]

Just wanted to confirm 4.9.1 has resolved the issue for me. I hope it does for everyone else too.

[kn0wmad]

Solved, thank you for the quick fix
