    Starting with Beta 29.7.1 the Rearrange dialog got a separate dedicated feature, currently called 'Align Manually'.

    With it disabled, artboards get positioned instantly in the center of the canvas, as it behaved previously.

    When this is enabled, you will enter the positioning mode after pressing OK — to allow rearranging only some artboards, to address this request.

    With more than 1 artboard selected (but not all), the mode gets enabled automatically (and becomes locked).

    The feature to rearrange artboards no longer works in 29.6. I had to downgrade to 29.5.1 and then it works fine. In specific, when you click on the Artboards windows and then use the icon in the lower left corner to pick the option to "Rearrange All Artboards" in 29.6, instead of actually doing that, it shows a strange view with a dotted line border and when you click to get rid of that the artboards remain in their original order. Downgrading to 29.5.1 appears to be the only solution for this problem.
