Layers not marked

[so what]

Mac Big Sur, AD 1.8.6

Hello, since the upgrade I loose the panel layer marking at certain steps. 

I work on one level. In between I click at another layer so that its objects are not shown anymore. Result: my working layer is no longer marked in the panel. Nor can I just click on the icon in the panel to highlight it again. Not a major problem, but irritating if you work with many layers.

Please check the screenshot  if I could not make clear what I mean.

Hi @so what,

Sorry for the delayed reply. 

How do you get the selection back when this happens? By selecting a different layer? Re-opening the project/app?

H Gabe, thx, no problem.

I can still work on the layer. But if I need it highlighted again I do have to select a different layer and then go back.This is the point where it becomes cumbersome, especially when 
I have many layers and they are not yet labeled. Then I have to go to the top "Bearbeiten" and "Rückgängig: Aktuelle Auswahl".

Gabe,

an addition: one really needs the layer highlighted when its a group or a container.

Any chance you make a screen recording next time it happens so we can see what's going on?

Hi Gabe, screen recording

"Layer 1" shows a layer not being highlighted in the panel though active

"Layer 2" shows an active layer not being highlighted and and an operation where the highlight appears again.

Ah, I see. Thanks . I've logged both issued.
