Highlight component between eeschema/pcbnew (new eeschema toolset) mismatch

[eelik]

There's small mismatch between eeschema/pcbnew component highlight with the new eeschema toolset.

1. Select a footprint. The corresponding symbol will be red.
2. Select a symbol. The corresponding footprint will be selected.

However, the previously highlighted (red) symbol is still red. So, there's a mismatch between the red marking and footprint selection.

I can't even de-red the red symbol under some circumstances. Selecting another footprint makes another symbol red, but it stays red. There's some combination of actions which triggers this and something which clears it, but I didn't find the logic yet.

This requires going between eeschema and pcbnew.

0. Start with a clean situation with two symbols and corresponding footprints, nothing selected/highlighted.
1. Select a footprint.
2. Select the corresponding (red) symbol.
3. Select another footprint.
4. Click outside the symbols to deselect.
5. Select the red symbol.
6. Select the other footprint which isn't selected.
7. Click outside the symbols to deselect.

Now both symbols are red.
