when i hold it, it turns gray but i cant move it, and it seems like the page freezes until i click somewhere again
it works fine on kiwi browser, but it does the described thing in the post on brave browser
Nothing about the drag and drop logic has changed, so this is most likely a browser regression or other device issue.
There’s been another report of this on Discord, it seems to either be a browser regression or an issue with the upstream library.
I’ve filed a report so they are aware: Drag failing to activate on some Android Chromium Browsers · Issue #112 · atlassian/pragmatic-drag-and-drop · GitHub
In the meantime, Chromium versions less than 128 seem to be working fine, so any browsers bundling older versions of Chromium or older builds of Chrome should continue to work.
Just want to update everyone here, this now appears to be a chromium bug.
If you’re running into this problem, please click “+1” (at the top right corner) on issue linked below and use a browser with a chrome version less than 128.

Just wanted to update everyone here - this was a confirmed chromium issue affecting versions greater than 128. This includes any browsers based on chromium (which is the vast majority of them, especially on Android). Firefox (the only major exception) on Android doesn’t support (and has never supported) drag and drop, but that is completely unrelated.
However, the issue is now resolved in the most recent build of Chrome Canary, v132.0.6807.0! You can get that from the Play Store and it may require a manual update since it’s a brand new version.
We’re hoping this fix will be brought into the main/production chrome browser (and therefore the version distributed/wrapped by other browser makers) in the coming weeks/months.
I’m closing the thread here, if you want to keep up with this you should follow the issue over on the Chromium bug tracker: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/363930156
Thanks to everyone (here and on Discord) who helped us track down this issue and file a report.
