In issue: 100322 and issue: 100171, user: sriram states that this is an upstream problem, and closes the reports. Assuming it is a Chromium problem (as reported recently issue: 1100252, and as far back as 2017 issue: 718392), other browsers have solved/avoided this problem, could Brave do the same as it looks like this problem is not likely to be solve quickly.
Feature Request
- A disable auto hide top bar option in settings.
- A fix of the bug.
