I'm not sure if this is a bug or intended, but I can duplicate the behavior. I used to be able to rearrange QuickLaunch icons in Plasma 5, but not in Plasma 6.

It's a regression, not intended.

can confirm this is still a thing on plasma 6.2.2

It's also very hard to drop icons into the quicklaunch and they always land at the beginning (left side). The only way to have them ordered is to drop them in the desired order. Also, the blue border where the icon would drop, only shows up (and glitches a lot) when no icons are in place. The next icons you drop, there's no way to know if you're dropping them in the quicklaunch widget or directly on to the bar.

Updating Plasma version for this bug, as it's still happening on 6.2.5 both on X11 and Wayland session.

I set the version back to what it was. Please don't change this. See the field descriptions here for an explanation
