	Hi,
it looks like a WebKitGTK problem. You can try to downgrade the
org.gnome.Platform to get an older WebKitGTK.

To downgrade a flatpak app/runtime, you need to know the commit to
downgrade to. The available commits can be found with this command:

   flatpak remote-info flathub org.gnome.Platform//48 --log

Unfortunately the description of the Platform commits is meaningless,
thus pick some based on the date. To downgrade to that commit you can
use this command:

   flatpak update --commit $ID org.gnome.Platform//48

If you've the flathub remote configured as a user, then add also
"--user" to both commands.

To make sure you run the correct bits, kill the background process for
the Evolution before running it again, aka:

   flatpak kill org.gnome.Evolution
   flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution

If you'd like to know what version of WebKitGTK the org.gnome.Platform
provides, you can use:

   flatpak run --command=sh org.gnome.Platform//48
   cat /usr/manifest.json | grep webkit
   exit

Interestingly, I tried with:

   webkit2gtk4.1-2.50.0-2.fc44.x86_64
   evolution-3.58.0-1.fc44.x86_64

(not a flatpak version) and it could save the note with no problem.
Trying with the Flathub.org version it fails to work the same as for
you. The current org.gnome.Platform ships WebKitGTK 2.50.0. When I

   flatpak update --commit ea15b4a059d247693f633c90db1daa43f9f52e944a1f2bb06fea1f41c57ba206 org.gnome.Platform//48

which contains WebKitGTK 2.48.5, then the notes can be added with no
problem. Interestingly, the Plain Text composer does not suffer of
this, where I'd expect it will.

You most likely face:
