Hide Shortcut Buttons

[Linguini]

On my phone, the pointless blue bar with shortcut buttons "gets in the way". I will click on a post or link to read, but my phone always thinks I have clicked on a shortcut to Search or whatever, even though I have clicked nowhere near the button.

I have to go back then select Hide Shortcut Buttons, but this only works once, then the pointless and annoying blue shortcut bar is back again!

Is there a way to permanently remove this obstructing blue bar in my Options?

Thanks.
