I’m having the same issue. When I make a new tab and try to drag it to a another window or make it into a new window it freezes Brave. Then when I hit something on my keyboard it unfreezes but the tab goes back to where it was. I am using Windows 10 so it clearly isn’t just an OS issue as OP is using macOS.

Brave version: Version 1.31.88 Chromium: 95.0.4638.69 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Windows 20 Pro - Version 20H1 - Build 19043.1288

The issue seemed to fix itself after about an hour. No idea what I did that fixed it if anything, just randomly seemed to start working again

This bug just started for me as well. Very annoying. Having to “create new window” to be able to have a new tab where I want it is getting old.

Same reproduce steps as OP.

Brave Version 1.31.88 Chromium: 95.0.4638.69
Windows 10 Pro - Version 20H2 - Build 19042.1288

Having the same issue. I often use Brave windows side by side, and if I drag tab from one window to the other, I get a red screen and Brave crashes. It does not appear to happen when using Chrome (Brave being chromium based, thought this bit would be useful).

Using Brave: Version 1.30.89 Chromium: 94.0.4606.81 (Official Build) (x86_64)
OS: MacOS 11.6 on 27" 2017 iMac. Happens on my MacBook Air too.

Update:
Saw I was on an older version of Brave browser. Updated, and it appears to be working right now… I’ll report back if I can reproduce it.
Now on Version 1.32.106 Chromium: 96.0.4664.45 (Official Build) (x86_64)
