Can't move tabs in Safari in iOS 26 (iPad Mini 5)

Maybe I should have waited... In iOS 26 using Safari, I'm unable to move tabs (reorder, drag & drop). When I try to move a tab, the whole tab bar moves and the program scrunches up. Am I missing something, or what's going on? Google AI says it's a known problem in 26. True? (When it comes to OS's, I find Google's AI often wrong)

I found the answer. Over the years, I use a rubber ended stylus. Previously, it didn't take a lot of pressure to drag and drop tabs. With iOS 26, it takes a lot of pressure and holding for a moment, before moving.
