Description
As I understand it: an active block can be moved up or down with arrows at the left of the block, which appear with mouse pointer hover.
Arrows do not appear with hover.
When I highlight two blocks (click & drag), I can see the arrows and moving works. However, there is no handle for dragging.
OS: windows 10
Browser: chrome
wp: v. 5.0.3
Theme: Twenty Seventeen (version is up-to-date)

The following screen shots are from the Twenty Seventeen theme. Behavior in the editor was the same in the Twenty Nineteen theme. All plugins are inactive.
img A shows the tree structure of the blocks in this test post.
img B shows an active text block with the add-block plus symbol in a circle. It appears with hover, but move arrows do not appear with any amount of pointer hover. (demonstrating that the hover function for the editor works).
img C shows two highlighted blocks. Click/drag cursor over two blocks to highlight. Or shift/click to highlight. Curiously, ctrl/click does not highlight. Arrows appear, and they do work. But there is no handle to drag. (The arrows appear without any hover interaction.)
img D shows the text in a column highlighted with no arrows.
img E shows the entire column highlighted with arrows showing, but the arrows do not work.
img F shows the column block and a text box highlighted, showing arrows that do work.
Hopefully it's enough info without being too much.

Hi @Sophie_Kath, Welcome to WordPres Trac! Thanks for the report.
Does the issue happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme (Twenty Nineteen) activated?
Can you please share screenshot and steps to replicate issue.
