Activate the twentyfourteen theme.
And can you please disable all plugins.

I’m not sure this is related, but I also don’t get the functionality described in the video wherein the toolbar remains visible when scrolling down through long texts on the page.

Unfortunately, it was your theme causing the problem. I can see you didn’t deactivate your plugins, but it is obviously your theme…
So now you’ll have to contact your theme developer to see if they have an update or fix so it will continue working on 4.0.

Do you think this problem may also be related to the custom template I am using (Flagship)?
try switching your template to the 2014 and see.
I am afraid of switching the template since that move corrupted some settings. I will just wait to see if the custom template developers can improve their support for Benny. Thanks for your help.
