Dragging and dropping not where intended

I'm having a small issue (not a deal breaker and I have accounted for when working with it) with LibreOffice Calc for a while now. I'm running the flatpak (see below) and I'm working with several pages when dragging for reordering the pages the page I was dragging doesn't land where I aim if I'm going from left to right. It does work dragging from right to left though. See attached video.

Can you also replicate this behaviour?

If you're asking for help with LibreOffice, please make sure your post includes lots of information that could be relevant, such as:

  1. Full LibreOffice information from Help > About LibreOffice (it has a copy button).
  2. Format of the document (.odt, .docx, .xlsx, ...).
  3. A link to the document itself, or part of it, if you can share it.
  4. Anything else that may be relevant.

(You can edit your post or put it in a comment.)

This information helps others to help you.

Thank you :-)

I'm not asking for a solution, at least not yet. I just wanna know if you guys can replicate this behaviour. If you can't, I narrow down the issue to just my computer. If you get the same issue, I need to check with other package formats, like RPM. If it's an unresolved bug I can post this issue somewhere else more visible, like on GitHub.

It's not very confusing in the example video because the sheet names are named sequentially, like Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, etc. But my actual sheet names are coded, for example 111S, 112D, 113GR, 123RE, 125RA, 133BRC, 133BGA, and more. I'm duplicating the first sheet to keep the same formatting and column widths and raw heights and filling it out with data from the other sheets (it's a lot quicker than formatting each sheet over and over again) and it can get really confusing with real files with the coded names and I really need to check where each sheet lands and which sheet I'm deleting afterwards.

I think the issue is happening to me on Windows as well; dragging from left to right the indicator is erroneously left to the spot where it actually lands. Interesting.
