Stage Manager icon on iPad covers back arrow in news apps

When I’m using Stage Manager on my iPad the Close-Minimize-Full Screen icon covers the back arrow as shown in the screenshot below. This occurs on all of the news apps. Is there any fix for this?


iPad Pro (5th generation)

This doesn't seem to occur with the Apple News App.


The traffic-light button used to control iPadOS windows may overlap screen elements in some third-party Apps. Third-party Apps may require update, by the associated App Developer, the properly support iPadOS 26.


You might consider seeking assistance from the respective Developer of third-party Apps that suffer this problem - enquiring when (or indeed if) the App will be updated to fully support iPadOS 26:
