Hi Wolfi, I found that new drawings do not have a root layer, but a "Layer 1". So, I cannot reproduce the bug with new drawings, only old drawings with root layers.
Perhaps the bug is caused by lack of backward compatibility. (I.e., the developers might have changed the default layer name, and then forgot that old drawings have an unnamed root layer.)
