Default Tasks cannot be linked

I have several tasks within a WBS.
These tasks have no linked tasks (no predecessors and no successors).


The WBS however is linked to other WBS's (1 predecessor and 1 successor).


I want to link the tasks within the WBS but get the message:
"These tasks can't be linked because they're already linked through another task chain"


Again these task do not have any successors nor predecessors, their WBS does.


I expect to be able to link these tasks within the WBS.

Take out the WBS links- they are bad practice, and make problems like this a lot more likely. It should always be tasks linked, a WBS is a cover all for other items, and as such has no actual presence.
There is no reason you cant have a milestone at the end of a WBS as a task and use this, but the actual WBS xauses more problems than anything else.
