Unable to Move Folders

I've used Roll20 for a number of years.  Moving Journal entries around has always seemed a bit finicky, but lately I am having difficulty moving folders into other folders.  It works once in a while but most of the time I can't get it to work and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  I've looked at this GIF from the Help Center  but that doesn't match my experience.  See below.

Hi Scott,  It looks like you are skipping past the point where you put it into another folder. As you said, sometimes it is finicky.  I suggest when you reach the level where you'd like to drop it into another folder and it doesn't move to the side you drop it there anyhow. Then drag it again and pull to the right until it goes to the folder.  Using your gif as an example:  The moment you hit the level below "Blank" I'd drop it.  Then, drag it again...and instead of going up/down go to the right (maybe a tiny bit up).

Hi Gauss.  Thanks for the advice.  I also tried moving it to the right, but it didn't work. However, I have figured out the issue.  The folder I was trying to move had other folders nested 3 deep.  Once I removed the deepest nested folders, I was able to move the folder without a problem, so this issue is resolved.

Ahhh, I'll have to test that. Could you give a screenshot of the nesting scheme?

This folder can't be moved into another folder because it goes 4 deep, which is the maximum allowed.  Moving it into another folder would cause it to go 5 deep.

Ahhh I see that in the help files now. I haven't ever had enough folders going deep to run into that limitation before.
