Drag and drop issues in Safari on Sequoia

I am unable to drag a URL out of the top Address and Search area in Sequoia like I used to be able to. So I cannot drag a URL, for example, into where I want it in my Bookmarks in the sidebar, nor can I drag it to the desktop for later viewing. Is anyone else seeing this?

It sometimes works on a band new window, but not always. The only workaround I have found is to open a new window, and paste the URL, then I can drag it out of the search results.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.0

They definitely changed something to mess with our muscle memory. Click>drag>drop doesn't work when you click on the address bar to highlight it when it moves from center of the address bar to the left and becomes highlighted. Address becomes draggable when you click and immediately drag it without letting go. Then you can put it in a bookmarks folder or desktop. I hope it goes back to how it always was and I always click on the favicon and drag the address out to any destination.
