Created a new vault and new note - by default I use the floating keyboard. I highlighted/selected some text, but the mobile toolbar no longer appears at the bottom of the screen as expected.
I can “trick” Obsidian into displaying the toolbar by:
- Selecting any text
- Tap+hold the floating keyboard and drag it to the bottom of the screen to switch to the full keyboard (or switch to full keyboard from the ‘…’ on the floating keyboard).
- Use the pinch gesture to switch back to the floating keyboard.
- Select any text again. Tap+hold the floating keyboard to nudge it slightly, the toolbar will now appear at the bottom of the screen. However, the toolbar is persistent (instead of only appearing when I’ve highlighted text), and remains visible as long as my cursor is active inside a note.
If I tap out of the note/dismiss the floating keyboard, the toolbar disappears, and when switching back to editing I have to repeat the steps above (floating>full>floating) every time I need the toolbar.
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
Yes, tested in a brand new clean vault.

Additional information
I’m not sure if it’s the same root cause as last time, but this happened in a previous version of Obsidian as well (closed bug ticket here). It had been fixed at some point, though, and was working just fine until 1.11.4 (the issue was occurring while I was using the Insider releases as well – I followed the steps to remove Insider and clean install the current App Store version first but sadly it’s still an issue)
