Black bar across bottom of mail display

Yesterday, my email display started showing a black bar across the bottom, so the displayed list of emails is effectively shorter. No idea why this started happening. Only clue (maybe) is that I was using FaceTime before it started happening, but could just be a coincidence.

I’ve tried rebooting, but it doesn’t help. Another detail: the display is fine when I first open the mail app, then it shrinks up from the bottom pretty quickly, leaving a black space at the bottom.

Well, my phone was having a new issue this morning. It was doing predictive text in Spanish instead of English. So I rebooted again. And...


Everything is fixed! When I started up the Mail app, it showed several open windows, similar to what you would see in Safari. I never saw that behavior before in Mail. I closed them all, and the remaining one fills all the space available.


I can now have more than one window open in Mail, like this:

1)

2)

So, the new window is down at the bottom where that mystery black band used to be.
