    Hi!

    On an ipad, I run into the following problem.
    In the Sketchbook app, there is a bar with icons at the top, but when I
    try to use one of the icons indicated in the following screenshot:

    Instead of getting the menu associated with that icon, some unwanted
    ipad interface function comes up instead:

    How do I turn off that unwanted ipad interface functionality so I'm able
    to use the icon of the sketchbook app?

    greetings and thanks in advance for any suggestions, Niek

    On some pages, they talk about "split view" and it's not entirely clear
    if that is the same as "split screen":

    https://www.att.com/device-support/article/wireless/KM1292129/Apple/iPadPros

    I also read on some pages that it's a feature that can't be turned off:

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254839892?sortBy=rank

    "Unlike iPadOS14 and earlier versions, multi-tasking (including
    split-screen and slide-over views) cannot now be disabled from settings."

    So it seems that apple has decided I need split screen and they don't
    give a fuck that it makes my favorite apps unusable.

    Oh nevermind.. an app update fixed the issue.
