New to gimp, having trouble importing images

As seen in the first couple seconds of the video, I should be able to drag and drop an image on top of a new layer, once I have created a blank 1920x1080 layer. This was working but I think I changed one of my settings so this is no longer happening! I tried to reset all settings to default but have not had any luck. 
Steps:  Open Gimp -> File -> New -> Ok -> drag and drop image from finder

Difficult to see, your screen makes the added layer look more like a copy / pasted layer (1) than a dropped-in layer (2).

   

There is a setting to turn off layer dock previews but that applies to all layers including the background layer. ..so I do not think it is that.  

You copied something from a video ? Can you save that capture as an actual image, a jpeg or a png ?

Instead of drag-n-drop use Gimp File  -> Open as Layers for that image.
