This is a phenomenon of writing in fields... This is because fields have a
"ceiling." Write above that ceiling, and your handwriting doesn't get
recognized at all...
The best way to prevent this is to write, centering your writing over the
line in the field, rather than writing on top of the line. It's hard to
explain, but I hope I'm clear enough...
