Safari Tabs acting oddly

I'm running Safari 16.1 on Ventura

I used to be able to grab a Safari tab and drag it to my 2nd screen, however now the tab remains on the 1st screen AND the 2nd Screen simultaneously. If I close the tab on screen No.1 the tab on Screen No 2 goes blank.

What am I missing?

Mac mini, macOS 13.0

Moving Tab to Other Window Doesn't Work When I click and drag a tab to another open Safari window, the tabs make room for the new tab as if it will be placed there along the other tabs, but when I release the mouse the tab reverts back to the original window.

Safari Tabs Won't Move To Another Safari Window I have been dragging my safari tabs, as I usually do, to my other safari windows. This time they refuse to transition over to the new window of the same browser. I can drag it, and once I let go of the tab, it disappears and persists on the original window. I've tried messing around in the Safari > Preferences > Tabs settings, and nothing seems to change. How should I troubleshoot?

Safari Tabs Duplicating on Drag to New Window It doesn't happen all the time, but ever since the latest update to Monterey when I drag a Safari Tab from one window to another, it doesn't move it but sort of duplicates it into the new window. When one is selected, the other duplicate is greyed out, and when one Tab is closed out, both close out. Both also update in real time. Is this a bug or a new feature? I can't seem to find any information on it. If it's a feature, can I turn it off? Thanks.

I also have this problem on my MacBook Air but obviously only on one screen. So I don't think it has anything to do with using multiple screens.
