Why won't the address bar in Chrome hide when I scroll?

Chrome used to automatically hide the address bar when I scrolled down on a website, and show it again when I scrolled up.

This is useful on a small screen.

Unfortunately, it no longer does this. Well. it no longer does this for me, the main user (owner) of the phone. It still does this on a second user on the same phone.

This problem has been happening for several months already.

An example of where the address bar correctly hides:

I tried uninstalling all Chrome updates and then reinstalling them.
I tried force-stop and then clearing the entire storage for Chrome.
Neither of those worked.

How can I fix this, please?

Extra information:

The phone is a Pixel 2 XL, Android 9, fully updated (unrooted).
Current Chrome version 71.0.3578.99

I asked this question on Google Product Forums, but had no response.
