1. Create circle from circle button
2. Try to select using arrow button
3. Can't select, can't align

OBSERVED RESULT
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
