What version of photoshop and windows are you using?

 

Layer via Cut is Shift+Ctrl+J

Layer via Copy is Ctrl+J

Shift Ctrl J does not work on Smart Objects.  I just found that out 😞

I was about to ask if the layer was a SO, but Trevor has beat me to it. @Barbu Daniel , let us know if that's the issue.
