On mobile, the browser navigation bar at the bottom of the screen does not disappear when scrolling down on project/work pages. This issue occurs in both Safari and Chrome on iOS 26.

On regular pages (e.g. news, about, contact) the browser UI behaves correctly — it hides when scrolling down as expected. The problem is specific to project pages using the carousel/gallery layout.

What's happening

It appears the project page layout prevents the browser from triggering its scroll-to-hide UI behaviour. The bottom bar remains permanently visible, covering the lower portion of the page content. Because the bar does not hide, the bottom of the page is partially obscured and unreachable.

This affects both Safari and Chrome on iOS 26, which suggests it is related to how the page layout or scrolling container is structured — Chrome on iOS uses the same WebKit engine as Safari, so both are affected equally.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a project/work page on an iPhone running iOS 26
2. Try scrolling down
3. The browser UI bar at the bottom remains visible and does not collapse
4. The same behaviour does not occur on regular (non-carousel) pages

Environment

• Lay Theme (latest version)
• WordPress 7.0
• iOS 26, Safari 26 and Chrome on iOS
• Does not affect regular pages, only project/carousel pages
