horizontal scroll bar in middle of screen in Safari on ios14

In IOS13 on my iphone11 pro, I never noticed a horizontal scroll bar in Safari. In IOS14.2, there is a scroll bar, but instead of being at the bottom of the screen, it's more or less in the middle of the screen, in just about the worst possible place for it to be (just a little lower than the middle) and it interferes with my reading. For example when I scroll down on the page while reading an article online, both the horizontal and vertical scroll bars show up at the same time, and the horizontal scroll bar is on top of the text I am reading until the scroll bars disappear. And if I scroll just a little up or down, this happens. Every time I scroll just a few lines of text, the scroll bar pops up again and crosses out the text so it's hard the read.


The question is: Is there a way to turn off the horizontal scroll bar? Or to get it to be positioned at the bottom of the screen instead?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 14

I just got off phone with Apple support specialist. She mirrored into my phone so I could show this. I was told they are aware of the issue and looking into a fix. She expected it to be a software fix eventually and not a device issue, so I guess that’s better than needing a new phone. I am on iPhone 12 running iOS 14.2. I would say the more people to call in to specialists and mention this, the quicker a fix may come.
