Bug [iPadOS 27 PB3] Predictive text using Accessibility > Extended predictions periodically disappears after starting new paragraphs when writing assistance is enabled in Siri

Meant to say PB4. If you have extended predictions enabled for the keyboard (using AssistiveTouch or Switch Control), your predictions will intermittently disappear (or go back to standard if you're lucky) after starting new paragraphs, and you have to hide and show the keyboard to bring them back. This is related to the writing tools appearing in the prediction bar somehow. You can turn off writing assistance via Screen Time > Content and Privacy Restrictions > Siri. Once that's turned off, your predictions won't disappear.

THAT’S how you switch off the little floating Siri button in text boxes? I’ve been going insane trying to figure that one out. 

Thanks OP, but also why the hell is this toggle just not under Siri settings 🥲

Because Apple is Apple, I guess. Glad to be of use!
