In ArcGIS Pro 2.7 how do you stop the ribbon from collapsing every time you click outside of the ribbon?
For example, to edit a polygon I must click the Edit menu option, this opens the ribbon and I can select the selection tool. Then I can select my polygon but the ribbon collapses. To select an editing tool I have to click Edit again to open the ribbon and select some editing tool. This results in a lot of extra clicking. I do not see a setting in the Project Options to fix the ribbon.
You can start the Python IDLE GUI from the Start Menu using the ArcGIS Pro Python command prompt.
Start Menu > All Programs > ArcGIS > ArcGIS Pro > Python Command Prompt
This will open a command prompt window at the current ArcGIS Pro python conda environment. Typing idle at this prompt will open the IDLE GUI.
In conjunction with reading the Create a route documentation, I realized that I should try digitizing a line (or lines) into the Centerline feature class of the TestLRS feature dataset before trying to use the Create button on the Location Referencing tab.
After digitizing one Centerline feature I tried the Create button on the Location Referencing tab again:

It's this tiny down-arrow at the far right of the ribbon. If it's pointing up, the ribbon will auto-collapse. If it's down, the ribbon will stay open. You can also use the keyboard shortcut
Ctrl-F1to toggle it on and off.Many other applications that use a 'ribbon' have the same button in the same place:
