Anyone having issues moving SharePoint web parts today?

I have received several reports this morning regarding issues with moving web parts in both communication sites and Teams sites. I was able to reproduce, but am unsure if this is an internal issue or some larger issue. When trying to move web parts instead of moving between sections or around the flexible section it simply highlights all text boxes in the vicinity. This also occurs when attempting to move web parts using the "move section" button in the properties bar. Anyone else experiencing this issue this morning?

    Yes.

    This is a clear issue which microsoft, as usual in the vast majority of cases, has no interest in addressing.

    This sharepoint 'move web part' functionality works in google chrome browser, does not work in firefox browser. 

    No extensions, add-ons or anything else running. 

    Moving a web part simply does not work.

    Please see my own post providing detail on exactly this bug.

    It would be nice if the software creator actually addressed these issues instead of leaving it to the public to troubleshoot for them.

    I'm facing the same issue on Firefox.

    Moving web parts works fine in Chrome.
