Annoying "Unwatch/Save/Share" taking up screen on mobile site

Hi, not sure if this is deliberate or not!
I've posted on a thread, now when I revisit it there is a pulldown type thing saying "unwatch/save/share" that stays there when I scroll down the thread, taking up loads of space. It's annoying! It's at the top of the thread but I can't scroll down past it as it moves with me when I scroll.

I'm on Android mobile site.

Thread is https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5017941-should-we-be-educating-young-people-about-the-danger-of-financial-vulnerability?reply=133378167

I keep track of my Threads I'm Watching just fine, and never save or share through the site, so would rather this disappeared!

@LilyMumsnet this is an example of a long post from someone it means I can't read that post as the bar blocks it. I don't "read" each line individually.

We're on it and will be releasing a fix shortly - thanks for flagging this.

It works as intended if you do not want people to use the mobile site. Distracting and seemingly unnecessary. I thought it was a bug!

I am using a phone and I have a disability that means as well as being distracting it prevents me from using it i persevered but I just can't read those threads now.

I came to say the same thing - I hate it. It is distracting and gets in the way. My iPad screen isn't big enough to put up with this thing taking up space. At the very least, could we have an option to lock it at the top of the screen? All your feedback so far has given it a resounding thumbs down.

Yes it's distracting and takes up about 25% of the reading space.

Please get rid of it. It’s very irritating.

Three times tonight I’ve browsed MN and three times I’ve left because the moving bar is so annoying.

It's working as intended it's awful I can't read the thread with that pulling down as I scroll it's incredibly distracting
