3. Long tap on the second tab and drag it to the first position to reorder the two tabs.
4. When the two tabs are overlapped, release the selected tab.

Actual behavior

The first tab remains in its place while the moved tab is deleted. The "Tab closed" snack bar is displayed.

Hey Delia,
From the video, I think that the gesture registered as a swipe to close instead of a tap and hold to move gesture - maybe your finger slightly moved when tapping and holding, which triggered the swipe to close instead. As a result, I think it's fine to close this as WORKSFORME but please reopen it if I have misunderstood something
