Since yesterday, I have been unable to drag a URL and place it inside a folder on my Bookmarks bar. When I click and drag the URL and then release it inside a folder, the URL just floats back to original URL address bar. The same issue occurs when I attempt to drag an existing bookmark and reposition it inside a folder. After this happens, the folder view remains stuck on my display until I click on the Brave menu bar. Strangely, I can drag a URL to the top level Bookmarks bar and I can reposition bookmarks using Bookmark Manager.
I am using an Apple M1 Max Macbook Pro running macOS Monterey v12.2.1Version 1.36.109 Chromium: 99.0.4844.51 (Official Build) (arm64)
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi team,
Just to report a bug: I can’t reorganize manually my bookmarks in my personal bookmarks barre. If I drag one to another place for example, it doesn’t move…
Thanks
Used to work fine, broken now on latest Brave, latest Monterey version.

## Description
Some users are reporting problems with drag and drop of bookmarks on the bookmarks bar.
See https://community.brave.com/t/impossible-to-reorganize-bookmarks-manually/349427/8 as an example.
I have reproduced this in a few cases below, mainly centered around ordering of bookmarks within a folder from the bookmarks bar. Note, re-ordering folder contents from brave://bookmarks appears to be working as expected.
Reproduces with Chrome 99.0.4844.51.
## Steps to Reproduce
Pre-req: Set up some bookmarks + a folder with some contents (or you can import from [bookmarks_3_8_22 copy.txt](https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/files/8206857/bookmarks_3_8_22.copy.txt) on a clean profile - just rename to .html before importing).
Once you have the above, try the following scenarios
Scenario 1:
1. Expand the folder on the bookmarks bar
2. Select a bookmark and attempt to move it to another position in the same folder (ex. move D between A and B if using bookmarks from above)
3. Bookmark does not move to new position in folder -- white line appears where you want to drop it, but bookmark does not move.
Scenario 2:
1. Visit a site not bookmarked (ex. rebron.org)
2. Highlight the full URL
3. Drag the URL onto the folder and wait for the folder to expand
4. Attempt to drop the URL in a specific place (ex. between B and C)
5. Bookmark is not placed into folder, folder remains expanded in view until you click on it to close the folder
Note - if you just drop the URL onto the folder without waiting for the folder to expand, the URL is added to your folder as a bookmark. It appears as though specifically trying to place the URL in a certain position cannot be achieved this way.

Scenario 3:
1. Select a bookmark from the bookmarks bar
2. Drag the bookmark onto the folder and wait for the folder to expand
3. Attempt to drop the Bookmark in a specific place (ex. between C and D)
4. Bookmark is not placed into folder, folder remains expanded in view until you click on it to close the folder
Note - if you just drop the bookmark onto the folder without waiting for the folder to expand, the bookmark is added to your folder. It appears as though specifically trying to place the bookmark in a certain position cannot be achieved this way.

## Actual result:
