is this happening since Obsidian 1.11 or since iPadOS26.2?

It’s not clear to us when this was introduced and by who.

Since 1.11! I added the software version in case it was pertinent. Someone on Reddit pointed out the bug and I tested it on my own setup to see if it could be reproduced.

I’m able to reproduce it. (It took a moment of things shifting / disappearing / reappearing to reach that state, so stick with it a moment if you don’t immediately see it.)
