Ever since the automatic update iPadOS 16.7.1 (20H30) on the 10th, my keyboard pops up in the middle of the page. How can I undo the update, or move my keyboard back down?

On the on-screen keyboard, touch the keyboard-key at bottom-right of the keyboard - and slide your finger to Dock or Dock & Merge before lifting your finger from the screen


You should now have the full on-screen keyboard visible on the screen - and this will be anchored to the bottom of the screen.
