I am running latest Linux Mint and xfce. I haven't ever done much of anything to customize it, other than adding a few programs.

Often, I have 3 browsers open and showing at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes, they are not showing up in the order that I like. I have tried to drag one of them over to the right side where it normally is, but it won't allow me.

I have gone into panel, panel preferences, items, window buttons, edit, and changed sorting order to "none, allow drag and drop". I have verified that it saves this setting, and rebooted the system completely to make certain that this setting is showing up on reboot.

However, it still will not allow me to drag and drop at the bottom of the screen, to change the order that open programs are showing there.
Is there something else that I need to adjust? Thank you.

I didn't have mine setup that way, but just changed it to 'allow drag/drop', and it's working for me :shrugs:

As a suggestion you may not have considered, you might want to try playing with virtual desktops. Keep the browser or whatever windows displayed on their own desktop, and switch by changing desktops.
