  When adding images to a gallery using the classic editor I am suddenly unable to drag and drop the images. I can still add and remove images. Drag and drop is disabled, which is awkward. How might it be restored?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @arielphotographer,

  At the moment this is an issue that we’re aware of, and are working to resolve. While I don’t have a timeline for a resolution, you can keep an eye on its progress here: https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso/issues/60469

  Our apologies for the inconvenience. In the meantime, you might want to consider using the gallery block instead.

  Hi there,

  WordPress 5.9.1 was released on WordPress.org yesterday containing the fix for this issue. All WordPress.com sites have already been updated with this new version, so reordering images in galleries should work again, but please let us know if you still have any issues with this.
