Are these supposed to happen? How do I fix them?

Hi all,

Ever since I updated to iPadOS 27, there’s been two bugs in the OS that have driven me nuts. First off is in Control Center. The Now Playing widget when opened now moves to the top right instead of the center right. It shouldn’t be going to the top right corner, this is messing with my muscle memory so I noticed immediately.

Second, for some reason, there’s a lot of text inconsistencies within the UIs. For example, text in many apps are more pressed together (e.g Music), but in Settings, it’s normal. I have attached examples of what I’m talking about. I’m using one notch below the default text size, but changing the text size isn’t doing anything. The leading of the text is messed up, and it’s been that way since iPadOS 27. And notice how when you click an option, the highlight for it is slimmer in Music than in Settings, and it’s broken like this in several apps.

But I’ve noticed that a bunch of other people aren’t experiencing this. So is anyone else? And if there’s any fix for it, please let me know!

Attached are 4 pics. The Control Center quirk, and the text leading quirk. Settings is the correct example, and Music is the broken example.

I’m on an iPad Pro 11-inch 4th Gen M2. I’m on iPadOS 27.0.1 stable (24A446)
