That has been happening for two or three firmware versions. It is a change from using a long-press to change the display. I don't know if this is actually a bug or a deliberate change. But it doesn't work well and I suggest complaining to Kobo. Enough complaints should get it changed back.

This is mainly a problem if you use one of the tap zone setups that have the small area at the bottom to open the menu. If you tap a little bit above the page number in the text area, it should bring up or disable the menu bars.

So, I tap at the top, click the menu at the bottom, select annotations, pick a book marked page... and it does jump to it... the bottom menu disappears, but the top menu stays...

And I can't figure out how to get it to go away, even though it's covering the first couple of lines of the page.

The only way I've found to clear the menu is to go to the home page, or something, and then back into the book.
The top bar not disappearing when an annotation or search result is selected has been there for a while. The recent change to the page number change has made it harder to dismiss. And hence more annoying. Changing to one of the other tap zones also solves the problem as you can tap anywhere in the centre of the screen.
