Might be Linux specific, I can't reproduce on Windows (they can be dragged and reordered).
Tried version 1.11.2b yet?

I'm unable to reproduce. Tested in Linux with the same version as OP (1.11.1b). It also works fine in Windows, probably just user error. @nazdridoy I'd suggest updating the browser and test again in a new/clean profile, maybe a modified setting could be causing the behavior.

I'm also running the .appimage version 1.11.2b on Manjaro with Wayland display server and it's working just fine. Have you also cleaned the configuration/cache (~/.zen and ~/.cache/zen) directories?

@nazdridoy I was able to reproduce the issue. Trying to drag a workspace only causes it to dim and it doesn't let you grab the workspace. However, I was able to quickly resolve it by switching to another workspace and trying again. It's most likely related to Wayland, try using X11 and see if you still experience the same problem.

i can't use X11. (Wayland is a hard requirement for my work). zen should and as far as i know, does support Wayland...

This commit fixes an issue where dragging workspaces to change their position doesn't work on Linux platforms.

The main changes include:
1. Added Linux-specific drag and drop handling with a transparent drag image
2. Enhanced dragover event handling for better visual feedback on Linux
3. Improved CSS styles for drag and drop elements on Linux
4. Added clearer comments to explain the reorder mode behavior

The issue was that the drag and drop functionality wasn't working properly on Linux due to platform-specific behavior differences. This fix ensures that workspace reordering works consistently across all platforms.

@mauro-balades Who tested this before you merged ? I can still reproduce this issue, I have no idea what that PR fixes.

@mbergo How exactly does your PR fix this issue, can you please explain? Because the original issue still persists on Linux running Wayland.

@nazdridoy You may want to edit the OP and mention more information about your environment, as this issue only relates to Linux running Wayland.

@mauro-balades Can you please revert the merge? It doesn't fix anything, the issue is still there.

I've decided to stop using zen-browser. I'm tired of dealing with new bugs and a broken workflow. Zen is far too unstable for my needs. Maybe I'll try it again if it becomes more stable in the future. But for now, it's practically unusable after the last update—it has become much too slow and sluggish.

We are going to remove this popup anyway when we merge the library so it doesn't make much sense having it here still

@mauro-balades Are you talking about removing the Workspaces popover?

I assume you're referring to draft PR #7550, which does not mention the complete removal of the Workspaces popover.

The workspace section includes points that will replace the utility of the panel. Such as organising, removing and editing workspaces
