Description of the issue:
Opening multiple tabs on Samsung Galaxy Tab. On Galaxy Tab S6, I merely long press the tab and slide it left or right and let it go. (It does give me a menu to move the tab to another group or window, etc., but I can ignore it.) On Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ however this seems impossible–if I long press I get the menu, but the moment I try to move the tab left or right, it tries instead to open a new window. It literally will not let me move the tab’s position; the screen blurs and it asks me to drop the tab to open full screen, then if I move it left or right and try to drop it there, it just reopens back where it was. If I move up I just get screen blur, if I move down it creates a new window. I can never move it to the side and change tab order.
I don’t want to open new windows, ever. Why can I just not move tabs like I can on my older tablet?
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Long press tab, try to slide left or right to change position.
Expected result:
Tab either opens in a new window or stays where it is.

Additional Information:
My older tablet appears to be running an older version of Brave (1.80.113). I really hope any update won’t mess up this feature on my old tablet, too! I move tabs a lot, I don’t want to open them in new windows, why won’t it work?
(EDIT, it has nothing to do with how carefully I move the tab left or right, either. Very carefully sliding it left or right, not up/down, just blurs the screen and brings the prompt to drop it. The other tabs blur and if I try to drop the open tab directly where I want it rather than in the middle of the screen, it just reopens where it already is. Literally no option to move left/right.)
(EDIT, good Lord!–and all those accidental new windows I closed never closed at all. When I hit the button to show all open apps I had like 6-7 open instances of Brave!)
The two others I tried on the new tablet don’t have this issue, so it’s connected to Brave. I’m going to hate when it updates on my old tablet…
