Why can I no longer move tabs in Visual Studio 2022?

I can't understand why SOMETIMES--I can move tabs; other times--I can NOT.
Was this "upgrade" intentional? Was the ability to move tabs, offensive to some users?

This document describes:
When you click and drag the tab of document window, a guide diamond appears. During the drag operation, when the mouse cursor is over one of the arrows in the diamond, a shaded area will appear that shows you where the window will be docked if you release the mouse button now. -

I don't know what you mean about a "diamond", or a "shaded area"--neither shows when I try to move tabs.
I've resolved myself to the fact that I can NOT move tabs anymore--just wanted to know the circumstances surrounding this "upgrade."

I am unable to repro your issue on my side and find any release information about moving tabs in Visual Studio 2022. Did you install any thrid party extensions? Please temporarily disable them.
Meanwhile, you can try to repair your VS through VS installer > More > Repair.
