2. Try to select using arrow button
3. Can't select, can't align

Error messages and no alignment

Arrange only works for vector layers. Seems like you have a pixel layer. In the layers docker, next to the plus icon to create a new layer, there's a dropdown from where you can choose to create a new vector layer. Draw your circle on that and try again.

I first set this to wish, but it clearly doesn't fit that either -- it's just not a bug. What's painted on a raster layer cannot be aligned, because they are just pixels, not objects
