iPadOS 26: Top Toolbar appears behind iPad info bar

"Hi, small bug I’ve noticed with the recent update to iPadOS 26. Whenever I come out of the app and then back in, the top menu bar sits higher than usual and the toolbar buttons end up behind the time/wifi info."
The bug occurs upon reopening the app whenever the top toolbar is hidden whenever you minimize or switch away from the app. Once the app is reopened, the annotation toolbar shifts from floating just below where the iPad info bar normally sits to the very top of the screen.
The main workaround for this is to toggle "Always Show Top Toolbar" in the Settings panel under Preferences. By enabling this setting, the top toolbar will always be visible, which prevents the toolbar's visible/hidden status from being impacted by the iPad's info bar. However, if you prefer the ability to show/hide your top toolbar, you can leave this setting disabled and utilize the next workaround below. 😊
The other workaround is to swipe up and show the App switcher and then selecting Scriptation again. This resets the menu bar.
