This article describes how to get access to the administrator toolbar with the New, Save, Cancel, etc. buttons..
Issue
When I upgraded my Joomla sites, I all of sudden lost access to the administrator toolbar popup when editing on a mobile device. I researched all potential fixes (ACL issues, PHP issues on Special, etc.) but none worked.
Another isue is that the top level drop down menus do are defaulted to "transparent" and depending on the background the list can be difficualt to view.
I tried a totally vanilla install and still I was not able to fix the issues . In the end I came up with a very simply "workarond" fix to force the apperance of the editing menu when in admin mode.
Cause
This issue was introduced with the updated version on Joomla and appears to only impact Apple devices, more specifically Safari (Iphone, Mac O/S, etc). This is a known issue with the current release affecting various features inlcuding the rendering of the top menu when in adminstrative mode when using Safari as your browser. Below is a Github reference to the issue that has NOT been fixed in the baseline code.

Solution - "Workaround"
To solve this issue, and as a stop gap while we wait for a permanent fix was to simply add the buttons explicitly by placing the Toolbar module in the "customtop" position.
