Provide a general summary of the issue here

When dragging the button handle in a table row nothing happens. When trying a second time the row is now draggable/reorderable. The button element has pointer-events: none; added as inline styles. Dragging the row itself works fine, the bug is only when dragging the handle.

Expected Behavior?

To be able to drag and drop a table row in the first try. That works fine with GridList and Tree but not Table

Current Behavior

When dragging the button handle in a table row nothing happens. When trying a second time the row is now draggable/reorderable. The button element has pointer-events: none; added as inline styles. If I set pointer-events: auto; as inline style it works fine. Dragging the row itself works fine, the bug is only when dragging the handle.

See example here

Possible Solution

Is the pointer-events: none; intended?
