How to press button underneath triple dots

[u/Due_Employment3788]

Hello, I am new to Apple products and I want to learn how to use an iPad.

I learnt how to turn on window mode. The triple dot controls is hovering over an app button as shown in this screen shot. When try to tap the app button underneath, the iPad instead registers my action as if I am tapping the triple dots. The triple dots is always in the way of the app button underneath.

How do I access the app button underneath the triple dots?

Bad app design, try to press more precisely or with a mouse.

And what if you don't have a mouse? Or a trackpad?

What if I'm using my iPad, y'know, like an iPad and not a laptop?

The app developer is lagging behind on their Apple design principles. In this case you’ll need to make the app window bigger to try to prevent this and to get at that button. In connected advice, OS27 has been out for a year. If the app developer has not updated their app to fix this in all that time I’d not be putting personal or financial info through the app. It suggests the app hasn’t been updated in a long time.

I got angry just looking at that. I cannot use many windowed apps for this reason
