In GAL mode, highlight net tool is dropped after highlighting a net

[Dick Hollenbeck]

BZR 6464.

In pcbnew GAL mode, with "highlight net" tool selected, the tool is dropped after highlighting a new. On a croweded board with lots of nets, I want to continue using the tool to see connectivity of VARIOUS nets, not just one and out. It is a nuisance to have to reselect the tool for the next net.

The tool should stay selected beyond selecting the first net. If a user wants to drop the tool, ESC key does that.

Hi Dick,

I've just tested it in BZR 6511, works fine. Someone must have already fixed it.

It is not fixed: it was just created...
Looks like it is a very recent regression:
I have this issue in rev 6518 (test both on W7 and Kubuntu 14.04), but not with an older version (unfortunately I do not know this older version number, but it is not a really old version, just some previous version)
