The top menu bar (Home, Searcg, Cast etc controls) starts at the top of the screen when you open the plex app. After playing something and returning from playback to Home or similar, the menu floats in the middle of the screen. I’ve yet to find any setting (app or IOS) that prevents this from occurring. Killing the app and restarting it is the only fix I’m aware of.
I never used the betas, but yeah it’s very consistent for me too. I couldn’t say exactly when it started, but has been present at least on iOS 17.1 and 17.2 and 17.2.1 on iPhone 14 Pro.
