app: React Ariabrowser: Desktop Browsersection: Table - Drag and drop
Repro steps
- 1.Navigate to React Aria Table documentation under the Drag and drop example section.
- 2.Click and attempt to drag the drag handle button on the 'Documents' row to reorder it.
- 3.Observe that the initial drag attempt does not initiate dragging or reordering.
- 4.Attempt to drag the drag handle button again.
Expected
Clicking and dragging the drag handle button should immediately initiate a drag operation and allow reordering rows on the first attempt.
Actual
The initial drag attempt on the drag handle button is ignored without reordering the row; subsequent drag attempts succeed.
Evidence
visualAt 5.97s - 9.0s, interacting with the drag handle button on 'Documents' fails to move or drag the row, leaving 'Documents' in its original position at the top.
visualAt 12.56s - 15.0s, repeating the drag handle interaction successfully reorders the 'Documents' row to the bottom below 'Image 2'.
visualControl: Clicking on the 'Photos' row body at 17.24s properly selects/focuses the row as expected.

### Summary When interacting with the drag handle button in the React Aria Table drag-and-drop example, the first drag gesture is silently ignored and fails to reorder the item. Subsequent drag attempts succeed. ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Open the React Aria Table documentation and scroll to **Drag and drop** (t=1.22s). 2. Click and drag the drag handle button next to the 'Documents' row (t=5.97s). 3. Notice the row is not dragged or reordered (t=7.0s - 9.0s). 4. Attempt to drag the drag handle button again (t=12.56s). ### Expected Result The drag handle should initiate dragging on the first click-and-drag interaction. ### Actual Result The first drag attempt fails silently; dragging only engages on subsequent attempts. ### Evidence - Initial drag attempt on drag handle does not reorder the row (t=5.97s - 9.0s). - Second drag attempt successfully moves 'Documents' below 'Image 2' (t=12.56s - 15.0s). - Control case: Clicking the row body directly focuses/selects the row without issues (t=17.24s). *Recorded with SceneRecap.*
