Copy collection from My Libary to Group Library is not working

ssrsrb
Hi,
I would like to copy a collection from My Library to a Group Library. I have an unlimited storage space subscription. I have tried two ways both do not work. I am using Win10, Zotero 6.0.20. Add-ons: Better BibTex for Zotero, DOI Manager, Storage Scanner for Zotero, Zotfile, Zutilo and the LibreOffice and Word for Windows integration.
1. I grab the collection from My Library and drag it to the Group Library. I release the collection when the target location is blue. It looks okay. The collection does not show up. No matter where I drag it to in the Group Library.
2. I open the collection in My Library and highlight all items (208) with Ctrl-A. Then I drag all items into a collection of the Group Library. It looks as if it would work, but I can only see 100 items in the target collection. The Group Library shows 206 items in the view window (2 short).

I have done the same action lots of times before and it works with other collections and Group libraries. What I am doing wrong? Any thoughts?

Thank you!

    If you've previously copied the collection to the other library, you'll need to delete the one in the target library and drag again to re-copy it.

    Dragging items should work. (The same thing applies — it won't copy new versions of the items unless you delete previously dragged versions in the target library — but it should add previously dragged items to the target collection if you drag the original items there.) If you think that's not working, can you provide a Debug ID for the drag?

    Thank you. I have several times the collection (and items) deleted and re-copied. I have also tried to drag the items. The collection does not copy over. I can only drag 100 ("100 items in this view"), but I can not drag them into the collection. They end up in the Group Library. Also, I have closed and opened Zotero. The same results. I tried the "Select All" "button" (does not work for me, too: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/426446#Comment_426446 ) and Ctrl-A. I have also noticed that the number of items in the trash (320 items in this view) does not agree with the deleted number of items (100). I empty the trash immediately after I delete items.
    I have noticed the the DOI plug in also stops and BetterBibTex seems to stop, too. I have recorded my steps. The Debug ID: D286558238
    Again, thank you for your help!
