can't add existing layers to a group.

Hi all!
I've created an image with several layers and want to group some of them but have problems.
As stated in the docs, "You can add existing layers to a layer group by click-and-dragging them."
And also, "The hand representing the mouse pointer must turn smaller before releasing the mouse button.
A thin horizontal line marks where the layer will be laid down"

However, I don't see neither a hand, nor a thin horizontal line.

I see a small scaled preview of a layer, and the mouse cursor turns to a corner, not a hand.

I use GIMP 2.8 on windows 7 64 bit.

I've created an image from several PNGs. I've opened one of those PNGs, saved it as .xcf, and then opened others from File->Open as layers...

Then I've created new Layer group by right-clicking on the Layers tab and selecting the respective menu item. Then I've run in the problems, described above.

Seems I'm doing something wrong. What?

Thanks.
Vladimir.

Seems, it was a bug. Restarting GIMP has solved the problem.
