Bug Description

When I highlight a net, I expect the net name to be displayed somewhere, similar to when I select e.g a pad with the select tool.

This works in "default" view but not in "OpenGL" view.

The total net length is missing too. You have to unselect the hightlight tool, then select a single segment to display the total length.

Same goes for if you select more than one segment of the same net - you just get the "global" stats shown in the status bar.
