Bug Description
When I open Footprint Editor and open a footprint, I find a problem if I uncheck the F.Cu layer on the right side in the Visibles/Layers pane.
I am unable to click on any element to preselect (highlight) it. I can use 'e' to view properties of an individual element, but 'e' has no effect when the cursor is over multiple (overlapping) elements.
Unchecked other individual layers, including B.Cu, seems OK. I can click on elements to highlight them and the Clarify Selection menu pops up on overlapping elements.

I can kind of reproduce this -- I am unable to select pads in the footprint editor when F.Cu is hidden but other pad layers (mask/paste) are visible. However, I can select other objects like silkscreen even with F.Cu hidden, and I can't edit the pads by pressing 'e'. Still, pads should be selectable if any part is visible so I'll fix that part at least.
