## 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. <img width="1197" alt="Screen Shot 2022-03-08 at 9 16 08 AM" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/28145373/157255753-205cfded-18da-4d0f-8493-78dd09b203e2.png"> Scenario 3: 1.
