This is Microsoft we're talking about. I'm hopeful but preparing for disappointment.
New Windows 11 file explorer can't drag and drop in address bar

Hi,
I'm really upset of the new address bar because I can't drag and drop anymore files to parent folder like in old file explorer address bar
Can you fix the problem in a close future update or tell me how to change this back to old version (exist in windows 11 file explorer)
The new address bar is above the tools bar (New - Cut - Copy - etc), the old one is bellow
Windows for home | Windows 11 | Files, folders, and storage

If you go a couple of pages back in the thread, Microsoft has already fixed it - it is being tested in Insider Builds. Estimated arrival, in fall.
