Floating keyboard doesn’t move in IOS 26.0.1

I have installed the newest update for IOS 26 on my iPad Pro so my keyboard isn’t spasming out anymore but Apple hasn’t fixed the problem of the floating keyboard being stuck on the screen, usually right where I want to type. You should be able to move it around but it won’t move. Currently, I have to switch between the full keyboard and then back to the floating keyboard which will free it up for a little while until it freezes again. It’s quite frustrating because I use the swype feature which doesn’t work with the full keyboard. Anyone have any workarounds for this bug (besides a shoe)? Thanks!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 26

This appears to be a bug with iPadOS 26.0.1.


You and anyone else that encounter this issue subsequent to updating to this version of iPadOS should submit a Bug Report via Apple's Product Feedback portal.  For iPad and iPadOS:

Feedback - iPad - Apple


When submitting your Bug Report, please ensure that you include details of your iPad model and installed version of iPadOS within the body-text of your report along with details of the problem. Do not rely upon the pick-list - as this rarely includes the current version of iPadOS.


Every Bug Report counts. Unless reports are submitted (with adequate detail), Apple may not assign resources to investigate and correct the issue.


In addition [i.e., not as a substitute] to submitting a Bug Report, you might also consider seeking assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page; you can initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:
