Bug Description
In GAL mode there is no way of displaying just the F.SilkS or B.SilkS layer footprints' references - both are shown even if the respective footprints are hidden. In default drawing mode checking/unchecking the Render option "Footprints Front"/"Footprints Back" does the work.

Thank you Tomasz for confirming the bug!
The problem seems to be related to the fact, that (unlike in default canvas) the pads, silkscreen etc. are not considered a part of the respective footprint. Please see attached screenshots for a better explanation.
Thank you for your support!
