Short description of error

The Ctrl G shortcut appears not to add selected objects to a new collection correctly.
A new collection is created, but can only be found in "Orphan Data".
In Object Properties in can be confirmed that the objects belong to the newly created collection,
however, that collection is not visible inside the Scene Collection.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Add a couple of test objects, and select them.
  2. Press Ctrl G to group the objects into a new collection
  3. Check the Outliner to see that the newly created collection is not listed under Scene Collection (as it would be had the new collection had been created by pressing M instead). Rather, it is listed in "Orphan Data".

This is handled in T53662: Usability issues with old group operators.

Note the task description is not listing all issues (will update this shortly), but for now, that is the place to continue discussion.
Will merge these reports.
