Moving clip to another track

I want to move a clip to a different track.
 
Until recently, if I dragged a clip up the Video moved up and the Audio moved down. But lately, that is not happening, even with Modifier keys.
 
What's changed?

Maybe you are thinking of when you add a clip, that's the preferred behavior, I don't know why adobe doesn't do it that way when moving a clip.

I have a CC 2017 install, I just checked and it works the same way, so not sure about the 'hasn't been around for a long-time'

Yes! That's when it happens! That's where it worked!

Not sure when it changed but I don't think that behavior has been around for a long time.

It used to be just Shift to move corresponding audio or video to a different track.

A few versions ago, Adobe changed the behavior to Ctrl+Shift.

 

If new track is say 5.1 and audio is stereo it wont drag.

I tried ctrl/Shift-drag but nothing moved. 

 

I'm getting mixed responses, but I think the correct one is; that option has been removed apparently quite recently because I've been able to do it in the past.

I was just doing one, I'm not sure if it's changed, but when I drag the clip the video moves to the track I want and the audio stays on the track it is, then I can hold ctrl-shift and move the audio down by dragging down to it, putting it below the other audio
