ref: p1702894676513619-slack-C05N140C8H5

Expected behavior

When reaching the end of a post in the Post Details screen, the bottom bar with the interactions should reappear, so the user can see the Like, Comment, and other interactions.

Actual behavior

When scrolling down in Post Details screen, the bottom bar hides to give the user more screen to read the content, but it only ever reappears when the user scrolls up for a bit, so users might not find the interactions.

Steps to reproduce the behavior
  1. Open a Post in Reader in the Jetpack app
  2. Scroll down until the end of the post
  3. Notice that the bottom bar hides when scrolling down but only shows again when scrolling up
Tested on OnePlus 5T, Android 10, JPAndroid 23.8
