Q: iOS 10 Keyboard Bug

There is a bug right now where when my iPad Pro running the latest iOS (as of today 10/6/16) will display the software keyboard in the wrong orientation.  It happens as follows:

 

I'm holding the iPad in Vertical Mode (Home button facing down) and I'm on the home page of apps.

I Pull down from the center of the screen to access the frequently used apps.

As soon as those apps appear the software keyboard also appears but in Landscape mode from the left side of the screen. This locks me out of making an app selection and I have to tilt the iPad to type in the first couple letters of my app or type sideways in the wrong orientation.

 

Expected Behavior: In vertical orientation the keyboard should be popping up from below at the bottom of the screen, the frequently used apps at the top of the screen and there is no occlusion.

 

If anyone has fixed this somehow I'm all ears but I expect this needs to be patched with some magical code-spackle.

Thanks all!

iPad Pro, iOS 10.0.2, null

    Hi. Have you restarted your iPad since the last update? Here's how

    1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    3. After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

    What you describe is working normally for me on iPad Air with iOS 10.0.2, so it sounds like just an oddity for you. Incidentally, is your Pro the 9.7 or 12.9 inch model?

    12.9" Model. And indeed it has abated.  I thought I had done that (always my first recommendation as well) so good advice I was not using.

    Thanks!
