Microsoft Office App for iPadOS does not display controls while opening a second excel file.
Expected behaviour of Microsoft Office App for iPadOS:
Whenever any excel file is opened in Microsoft Office App for iPadOS, it should display controls at the top at all times, irrespective of whether the excel file was opened after force closing the Office App or otherwise.
Observed behaviour of Microsoft Office App for iPadOS:
If after force closing Microsoft Office App for iPadOS from the app switcher, any excel file is opened in Microsoft Office App for iPadOS it opens correctly with the Office App controls visible at the top of app window- controls like Home button, Insert, Draw buttons, File Menu etc.
However if subsequently immediately after, another Excel file is clicked in File App of iPadOS to open it in Office App (without first force closing the Office App), the app opens the excel file but without showing the Controls at the top of app window.
This bug may be rectified.
This is a bug in Microsoft Office App for iPadOS and is not expected and may be rectified by Microsoft.
Screenshot of the expected behaviour and observed behaviour are attached.
