Selected CrtYd layer not drawn in front

[Piotr Gałka]

In footprint Editor (working with modern toolset (F11)) even if F.CrtYd layer is selected the F.Fab is in front of it.

You see it in attached CrtYd.png file. Two other files show that if those layes are selected they are correctly in front.

@Piotr does this also occur in Pcbnew?

I have noticed something else.
I have defined footprint where I have 3 lines one over another (Silk, CrtYd and Fab).
When I run Footprint editor (Silks is selected) and open this footprint and change working layer to CrtYd it is on top (like it should be). Then if i select Fab - it is on top, then if I select CrtYd it is NOT on top. Since that moment CrtYd never is on top (I am experimenting only with these 3 layers). When Silk - Silk is on top, then selecting CrtYd makes Fab beeing on top.

If i select Silk, select another footprint and then select that my footprint once more then if I select CrtYd it is not on top (when I have done that with first time opened that footprint was on top). So when opened (footprint, not footprint editor) second time it behaves differently then opened first time after running Footprint Editor.

I opened PcbNew.
I added to PCB that my footprint.
When I select Silk, CrtYd, Fab, CrtYd,...
It behaves like Footprint Editor - first time selected CrtYd is on top, then after once selecting Fab no more times CrtYd will be on top (if I select Silk - Silk is on top, then if I select CrtYd then Fab is on top).

One more comment. I hope it can help to find the bug.
From what I have written before it could be seen that selecting CrtYd just gets Fab to front - it is not so.

Selecting Silk gets it to front -ok.
Selecting CrtYd gets it in front of Silk, but also gets Fab in front of them both (and it works that way only if Fab was selected at least once before).
