Can't click and drag layers - Yanny - 05-20-2021
I don't know if I'm missing something insanely obvious like a checkbox, but I can't use my mouse to move things around in the layers box. Wouldn't be a problem but it means I can't add things to a layer group. Answer will inevitably make me feel stupid but I cannot figure it out.

I recall similar posts. Are you using a 4K monitor / display ? It seems that can affect click-n-drag tabs and layers.

Two 1920 x 1080 ? A quick search and several problems with dual monitors but nothing about it affecting the layers dialogue. Is it working normally with one monitor ? I only use a single monitor setup so no way to try-out.
You could report as a bug. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues

Well disconnecting my second display got it working again, so thank you for the suggestion. Obviously still annoying but at least I can move stuff around again. I'll report it!
Cheers for the help.

I was looking at possible work a-rounds and it is possible to Edit -> Cut (ctrl-x) a layer and paste in just above the active layer. Edit -> Paste-as -> New Layer (no hot-key set by default) .
