Mobile toolbar missing Android

Just opening the app, the mobile toolbar, with all the quick actions doesn’t appear. A time before was working, but now it doesn’t

Followed troubleshooting guide with no results. Since the problem is from mobile app, I couldn’t emulate it on Windows.
Despite following the guide, nothing changed

When I tried to restart the app reinstalling it, I’ve switched off all the community plugins, but it didn’t work.

I don’t see the keyboard appearing. The editing toolabar should appear only when the note is focused and the keyboard is active.

You can’t see the keyboard, since I’m using the Bluetooth keyboard. It’s the same if I use the keyboard of the tablet

Ok, I’ve tried something. If I quit the Bluetooth keyboard connection, the toolbar has appeared, but then I reconnected it, and there is now again.

Seeing a very similar behaviour on a Lenovo tablet with connected keyboard.

When the keyboard is connected (= display keyboard is disabled), the quick action bar is not visible. Upon disconnecting the keyboard and restarting Obsidian, the quick action bar is shown alongside the quick action bar. When reconnecting the keyboard, the display keyboard vanishes and the quick actions bar stays until I switch to another note.

Enabling or disabling bluetooth does not seem to have any effect on this. (The keyboard is connected via a magnetic connector)

This behaviour changed with the 1.8.10 (197) update.

*the quick action bar is shown alongside the display keyboard.

In short, it seems the quick action bar is now only shown when an on-screen keyboard is shown, which is a drawback on tablet devices with external keyboard, since the quick action bar is very convenient but the on-screen keyboard takes up half the screen which makes editing a pain.

Similar missing toolbar after recent update, but only in a main display in a foldable model, Samsung galaxy z fold 5.
In the small front screen (folded), the toolbar is shown as before.

we have made some changes in 1.9 on the app layout and when the various toolbars appear.
Let me know if this issue is still present when you get it.
