iPad apps disappear on swipe up screen

Ever since I installed iOS 26 and it's updates, when I swipe up to fully close apps, some of the apps just blink out. When I'm done swiping the visible apps, it does not return to my home screen, I need to swipe up again. If I want to close the apps that blinked out, I have to swipe up again and only have a second or two to close an app, then go through the cycle again.

To help resolve this issue, I've done a system reset and total erase and reinstall of the iOS (this was done with the help of people at my local Apple store). These have not resolved my issue.

I do have a video but cannot attach it.
