I like to do my editing, and then stack the tif file on top of the original dng file in the LR folder. With the new version, this doesn't work the same. I have to select <stacking><group into stack> (ignores me) <stacking><unstack><stacking><group into stack>, and *then* it behaves properly...
Anybody else finding this? It isn't exactly a game-changer, just a bit of a quirk...
I don't usually bother with collapsing the stacks, just leave in most cases, all three images side by side but I decided to have a look at the problem you described.
It seems that with my workflow, the images are already in a stack ('group into stack' option greyed out), just not 'on top' of one another. I tried the 'collapse all stacks' option and it worked OK.
All of the stacking options seem to work OK for me. Is the tif file being produced by 'edit in Photoshop' or some other external editor?

Yes, the tif comes back after editing in PS CC. I guess mine are, as you say, in a stack but not actually stacked, hence the reason I have to unstack them before it will work properly. It never did that before, the images would stack properly first time.

Click on the first photo in the group eg. 1..x
I have no problem with stacking in my LR CC. I Select the first, then Shift-Select the last, hit Ctrl-G. It creates the Group, then S to Stack the select. I do a lot of HDR and often have 9-12 images in a single stack.

I've never tried it that way... I just select them, then right-click and choose <stacking><group into stack>. I'll have to try your way... When I am doing HDR, I will also have quite a few images stacked. It gets really crazy trying to sort things out if they are all visible - especially when you are 'working a scene', and there are many different shots which are still very similar to each other...

The method I use, after a day of shooting multiple captures for exposure and/or focus stacking or panorama, might be helpful for you to speed your process. That method is, Auto Stacking. It will automatically group all photos taken at close intervals. The interval time is also adjustable. After which it is an easy process to select the group when stacked and the send it out to HDR or Panorama either in. LR or oUT to PS or any other similar app.

I don't think that would work for me. Mostly, it is stacking an edited tif file on top of the original dng file. I guess when I am doing HDR it might work, but I think I prefer to look at the images before doing any stacking.
