pcbnew -> eeschema cross-probe does not indicate component/pin

[Seth Hillbrand]

When clicking on a component in pcbnew, the cross-probe to eeschema centers the component but doesn't indicate which component it is. Previously, the indicator was a small cursor "+" over the component but could be anything. Just needs to be enough to pick the correct component out of the group.

Just a note: cross-probing does point to a pin/component, but the crosshair needs to be enabled in eeschema to see that.

[Tomasz Wlostowski (twlostow)]

How about highlighting the component (in conjunction with moving the crosshair)?

This worked in 5.0, but stopped working in 5.1 and is still broken in 5.1.0-373-ge808c7f95. Centering works, but in 5.0 the item turned red when cross-probed, which was really useful. Now it isn't highlighted and you have to enable "show crosshairs always" to see anything.

@mighty-pork, if you believe this behaviour is broken/there is a regression, please open a new bug report.
