Description

Drag-and-drop interaction using dnd-kit does not start on some Android devices (mostly Samsung)

The same implementation works correctly on iPhone (iOS Safari / Chrome).
On affected Android devices users cannot initiate dragging at all — touch gestures are ignored or interpreted as scroll.

This makes sortable lists unusable on part of the mobile audience.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Reproduce the failed drag gesture on an affected Samsung Android device, then trace dnd-kit’s touch interaction entry point; done means sortable dragging starts reliably without turning the gesture into scrolling while iOS behavior remains intact.
