Split Screen options on Safari keep disappearing on iPad

The three dot split screen options on Safari keeps disappearing. When this happens you have to minimize Safari to pick another app to share the screen with because the ‘Split View’ or ‘Slide Over’ are not available. This bug started with the latest update: 16.2.
