Bug Description

While editing B.Paste and other layers from the boards backside, the rendering order in the GAL puts the F.Cu right below the layer one wants to edit. This makes it quite hard to see corresponding pads on the backside.
Personally I would prefer that, after selecting one of the back layers, the layer stackup would put the back layers (in the correct order) above the front layers.
Right now it's possible to get close to this by disabling the /offending/ layers in the "Visibles -> Layers" list and additional in the "Visibles -> Render" list too (for Pads Front).

I would vote for an option, where you can mirror the whole view, including reversal of layer rendering order. You could think of it as switching side of the board you work on.
