Automatic splitscreen ipad pro

Anyone know as to why my ipad pro goes split screen when I, for example, have a word doc or powerpoint open up and if I open up the same app (word/powerpoint) it automatically split screens instead of opening the 2nd document and closing out the 1st one?

I dont want to disable multitasking because sometimes i need to have safari open and word open

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Split screen Multitasking option has disappeared Suddenly, Split View multitasking is no longer offered as an option when using my iPad Pro, v 16.1.1 Yesterday I was able to open a Word document, click on the three dots at top of screen, and choose a side-by-side split view option. I would then open a web document that would appear on the other side of the screen. Today, when I open the Word file and click the three dots the drop box says “open another app.” The new screen pops up on top of the Word file. The only way to view them together is to use my finger to try to manually move them to different sides of the screen, but the screens are not stable enough to work with. I have closed all of the open apps and rebooted the iPad Pro 11” second V. This problem first appeared using 16.1. I tried installing the latest operating version, the problem continues. What happened? Any fix?

Cannot resize Split View apps/windows on iPad Pro Hei. When the Apple Folio keyboard is connected to my iPad Pro 11” (2018) iPadOS 15.0.2 and open two apps/windows in Split View (e.g. Pages and Safari), then I cannot resize these windows from default 50-50% by dragging the middle bar. So when I unplug the keyboard and reopen the same windows, everything is ok.
