Disable auto hide of search bar in Safari on iPadOS

Hi!


When using Safari on iPad the search bar always is hiding itself at the top when I scroll down into a webpage. However, I would like it to be always visible. Is there a way to turn off auto hide?


I know that I can scroll up a bit or tap the bar to get it back immediately but I would prefer it not to hide at all.

iPad Air (5th generation)

This is a bit of a bummer. It should be possible to disable the auto-hide for people who want to see it all the time. It takes a lot of time, especially when you are working in „Desktopmode“ with an external screen and multiple apps and StageManager. Hope iPadOS 17 will get this feature.
