Research direction
Investigate the event handling for handle elements. The issue suggests button elements fail in Edge while divs work. Look in source files like Sortable.js for how handles are bound to mousedown/touchstart events. Test in Edge with developer tools to see if events fire. Check comments in the issue for possible workarounds (e.g., using pointer events). Fix may involve ensuring button's default behavior doesn't interfere.
