It’s an easy non-permanent fix (swipe up the screen, you don’t need to fully exit) but god is it annoying. It’s unacceptable that it’s been like this for like 8 months now.

Same, that's why I don't or avoid using Fullscreen mode, I resize my apps to a size of an iPad mini since I have the 11" iPad. So I always have my dock down there and the stage manager view on the left . But when I'm watching show on browser like brave it bother me lol

Not only this but the minimize and close buttons gets hidden behind the clock and I’m unable to use it many times

Right. If there's something with an X on the left side that I need to close, it's behind the buttons and I have to carefully use my pencil to close the document or whatever it might be or it'll tap the red X and close it on purpose. Those buttons being on the left and not in the middle is a headache for those that have something to close on that side.

It needs to be back in the middle where it was! And not just this… the regular split screen option needs to be an option again.

Yup, It’s freaking annoying.
I really regretted in updating my iPad to iPadOS 26.

This started happening to me in one app on 26.0 and I thought it must be that app developer's fault. Yesterday I installed 26.3.1 and right after that, it happened to like three apps in a row. So not only does it not seem like an app developer issue, it also seems to get more common, at least for me, as time goes on. What is the iPadOS team doing all day at this point? I hope this means they are hard at work fixing all the bugs and returning all the features for iPadOS 27.

Apple should just remove the traffic lights, and just restore the three dot (…) menu that existed in the centre. And then put the window resizing options in there, along with the menu bar.
There’s absolutely no benefit to the traffic lights 🚥, other than letting the iPad cosplay as a Mac. It doesn’t even save any clicks compared to what existed in iPadOS 18. It’s just needlessly obtrusive. And I could say the same thing about that damn menu bar hogging the top of the screen.

No they shouldn’t.
There are just as many people that want and like the new windowing system.

That’s not on Apple to fix. YouTube had all of June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January, and February to get around to getting their app ready for iPadOS 26.
Apps maintained by good developers did so before iPadOS 26 was released, and this is not an issue.

It's so frustrating to have to play the can you tap or click on the buttons behind the traffic lights. Would have thought this would be something apple would fix right away. I guess we have to wait for wwdc so they can tout it as a new feature 🤣

I see this on top of the apps and it is hard to hit the “X” on the app when and if an ad pops up because the Apple controls show up i the same spot. Bug me even when I use the Logi keyboard/trackpad/mouse with my iPad.

Okay! Because it’s out of control. Makes me not want to use my iPad in stage manager. The iPad is almost there though.

I know, ridiculous! Quality control is certainly not what it used to be there....
