Bug Description

if you start in library A

pick up a footprint

set active library B

save in this case will still save to lib A
focus in the save dialogue did not change to lib B

this can be tricky to see also as the marked lib in the save dialogue also is almost same color as the other libs

The whole active library concept is very confusing. It's being retired in 6.0.
