Just to clarify for any future readers of this thread so there are no misunderstandings, when you click on, then drag and drop a layer mask onto the trash icon you will get the following dialog....

THIS IS NOT A BUG! While this may be annoying for some, this is a normal function of Ps. How the function acts after you choose "Don't Show Again" is determined by the user. It will either apply or delete the layer mask with future drag and drops.

Dragging and dropping anything to the trash icon is an antiquated practice that most users quickly abandon after learning easier and faster methods. I do understand that some users become addicted to certain operations because that's how they may have learned.

THE MORE ADVANCED AND FASTEST WAY TO DELETE A LAYER MASK is to right click the layer mask and then choose "delete". Also note the other options available in the drop down menu.

Right clicking a layer is also the more advanced and fastest way to delete layers rather than dragging and dropping.
