Picking the reference object after execution has the disadvantage of adding extra steps (unconditionally).

I do think that the functionality in 5.1 is very good: one can choose the reference object, but no extra steps are involved (one needs to do right-click no matter what; might as well right-click on the footprint we want as the reference).

Again, the only problem, IMHO, is that what the menu says is not really what the software does (at the very least, it's unclear).
