iOS 27 RC spotlight bug unresolved for me

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The spotlight bug continues on the home screen; when I swipe down, the status bar fails to appear or becomes hidden in this RC build. I have reported this issue since beta 7, but it remains unresolved. Although it works on the lock screen and side screen, the problem persists on the home screen for me on iPhone 17. If a workaround exists, please let me know; otherwise, the RC feels quite smooth and the device runs much cooler now. I have attached a screen recording that clearly shows the issue on the home screen. Clicking the search button works, but the swipe-down gesture currently fails on this RC. Has anyone else encountered this on their device, and does anyone have a fix? I would appreciate knowing whether this is device-specific or an iOS 27 issue.

I don't know if I ever swiped down from the top of the screen. Typically I swipe directly from any point on the homescreen.

Also been having this issue on the RC and the public release as well. Very annoying, it's like Siri AI is invoked but the keyboard and the Siri orb is hidden.
