[1.2-alpha1] Image deleted when moved out from hidden layer

Summary:

A image (linked or embedded, doesn't matter) moved out of a hidden layer (locked or unlocked, doesn't matter) is deleted.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Open Inkscape
  • Create a new layer, so you have "Layer 1" and "Layer 2"
  • Make "Layer 1", for example, the hidden one.
  • Select "Layer 2", and add an image to the document
  • Click on the image and move it to the "Layer 1" with "Ctrl+Page Up/Down".
  • Now, move it out of the "Layer 1" with the inverse "Ctrl+Page Up/Down" to return it to "Layer 2"

What happened?

The image is nowhere, though you can see a "ghost" square frame of it.

What should have happened?

The image should have returned.

What I guess is happening

The image doesn't get its "hidden" tag removed.
