Bug Description
I have not experimented with different combinations DRC errors and markers, but specifically I have "ErrType(5): track near via" DRC Markers (regarding a pad and track on F.Cu) that cannot be selected when I have the F.Cu layer set to invisible (via the checkbox in the Layers Manager).
I am not actually sure if this is a bug or a feature; but I like to remove the visual clutter of the tracks when looking for DRC Markers, select the Marker, then make the layer visible if needed. It was annoying trying to figure out why I could not select the DRC Marker, until I realized setting the layer to visible allowed me to select it.

After more testing, it looks like this is a bug - I have a DRC Marker "ErrType(16) - Two track ends too close" for two tracks on B.CU; I cannot select the DRC Marker unless F.Cu is visible!
