This isn’t just an aesthetic problem — it blocks use of the toolbar. To use a toolbar button I have to scroll the highlight so it doesn’t overlap. I notice it more on phone than on tablet because of the smaller screen.
This person encountered the problem over a year ago but apparently it cleared up when they disabled plugins. Looks like they were using Advanced Mobile Toolbar or Commander, which I remember having at least one scroll-related bug (I’m using neither, anymore). [Bug] Mobile toolbar unusable when selecting text from bottom to top
I added “and cursor” to the thread title and merged in a report about that.
I expect the cursor to be covered by the header bar.
Actual result
The cursor appears above the header bar.

Is there any chance that the developers will address this bug? It has been ignored continuously. I use Obsidian on my iPhone daily, and this issue is incredibly frustrating. Thx.
This bug mainly affects me when I triple-tap to select the whole paragraph or when I use Select All. When dragging to select, the note typically scrolls to keep the selection off the toolbar.
