Hi,

I simply selected a text object in a lower layer, then cmd-c, click on layer above, cmd-v.
This just pasted text object shows up as "Ungroup" in the history.

Is there a  reason for that?

Thanks, Michael.

This looks like a bug to me. You can report it to https://inkscape.org/report and be sure to include this wonderful screenshot, I think it's helpful.

Thanks for replying, Martin!

I suspect the History needs some extra love ... Hopefully it's just the display portion and not some data structure problem.

I just stumbled upon some "reverse" behaviour with locking/unlocking/undoing layers:
First I found I could touch a Path with the Node-Tool while the layer seems to be locked:

Alas, the slim-arrowed mouse pointer is not in the screenshot.

Then I figured the history is not up-to-date and simply walked through its lines and IMHO the layer display wouldn't follow correctly:

BTW, i had a particular hard time creating and editing this post! 😠
