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

Thanks, den.thed.

For anyone else who happens across this, I created another user account, and I did not see the issue. Then I noticed the default setting under Safari -> Settings -> Advanced for "Show full website address" is off. Turning it on causes the problem to manifest itself. Checked a second Mac, and same issue.

So this appears to be a bug, but if you use the default settings, you'll never see it. I'll fill out a feedback form for Apple.
