Bug Description

I have:
- a copper only pad on Top layer
- mask and paste only pads on top of that
- Bottom layer active in the Layer Manager

Using "Highlight net" feature on top of such a pad highlights all pads with no net. That doesn't feel logical because I want to highlight only copper pads, there's no reason to find all unconnected pads through a non-copper pad. And in this case there even would be a copper pad in that same place "under" the non-copper pad.

If the top layer is active this works as expected, and even when the bottom layer is active but I click on a position where's there only copper pad but no non-copper pads this works as expected.
