Description

This has been seen on 2.18.7 and master (QGIS 3) as well. Steps to replicate the issues:

Load a shapefile
Open DB Manager > look into the "virtual layers/QGIS layers group", the shapefile loaded in the project is listed
Browse a PostGIS connection, select a table and preview its geometries
Select again "virtual layers/QGIS layers group" and click on the refresh button > the previewed layer in now in the virtual layers group(?). This only happens if in the above steps you preview the geometries, does not happen if you preview the table or see the table infos
Now preview the geometries of the (Postgis) table as visible in the virtual layers group > mouse pointer hourglass pointer starts and never ends
Click on the (shapefile) layer as visible in the "virtual layers" group
Click on the (PostGIS) layer as visible in the "virtual layers" group > the shapefile is REMOVED from the project

also while doing the above steps I have also seen this (not always):
