Site Permissions>>Invite People>>Add Members to Group not working?

I've been asking O365 group owners to go to Site Permission>>Invite People>>Add Members to Group for a while now. It used to work. This morning I found it was not working. The steps lead site owners, including me (site collection admin), to a static list of names and membership levels. We can share the site but cannot add members to the group.

 

The only way we can add people to a group is through Advanced Permissions Settings at the bottom of the membership list under Site Permissions. From there they add their people to the appropriate Sharepoint Group. I'd rather not have this complicated experience for group owners. 

 

Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a way around it?

      Every other group I have works fine, except this one. 

      Here's what happens normally. 

      We get the green button to Add members to a group. 

       

      With the one group I'm having this problem with, I don't see the green button. I have the same permissions on both groups.

        A couple of questions:

        1. Is it a public or a private Group?
        2. Are you a member of that Group?
        3. Can you add members to that Group using OWA?
