Bug Description
Reproduce:
1. Draw three rectangles (Ctrl+F4)
2. Add a layer above first (Ctrl+Shift+L and click plus button)
3. Switch to the new layer (Ctrl+Shift+L and left-click it in the layer dialog)
4. Select two of the rectangles
5. Press Shift+Page Up to move rectangles to top layer
6. Get message "No more layers above" - and the rectangles stay on bottom layer
The expected behaviour is of course that the two selected rectangles move to the top layer.
I think this might be connected to this bug: https:/
.. but not quite the same.
Note also that Sh+PgUp does work if you select only one rectangle - because then the current layer indicator switches to the bottom layer.
reproduced with Inkscape 0.47+devel r9125 on OS X 10.5.8
workaround: explicitly set the current layer to the one where the objects you want to move are located before moving them to the new layer. IMHO it is bug #168443 that causes 'Move to layer above/below' to fail the way you describe.
