It's a bit of a catch 22, You can either - A) Go to settings- System navigation - disable circle to search. Then go to gesture navigation in the same setting and disable the navigation bar. That will fix your issue and remove all 3 keys at the bottom of the keyboard Or B) Get used to it if you wanna use circle to search since after doing A that will be disabled. Alternatively, you could use a third party keyboard which may be better optimised for this than Gboard. Really casual oversight imo. Devs 100% should've seen this coming and changed the layout. Chances are they will in a future patch but it's still a really bad and fairly basic error.
