Wrong layer selected when other layer is deleted

[Ldp]

• (Start JOSM)
• Create 2 new layers
• I now have 3 layers: Data Layer 2 + Data Layer 1 + Validation errors
• Data Layer 2 is selected and at the top
• Delete Data Layer 2
• Data Layer 1 is now the active layer, but the Validation errors layer is selected

Tested with 2672.

More generally: Layer deleting does not remove selection (but keeps old selection positions).

I think you might misunderstand, or have not actually performed the actions I outlined.

Layer list:

Data Layer 2        <-- selected (green checkmark) and active (blue background)
Data Layer 1
Validation errors

Now delete Data Layer 2:

Data Layer 1        <-- active
Validation errors   <-- selected

This causes all editing to be performed in Data Layer 1, but for instance zoom actions are done with respect to the Validation errors layer.

You could also open 3 Data Layers in the above example, and see the same. The fact that the last one is the validator layer doesn't matter. The selected layer is always one off.

JOSM did *not* do this a until few days ago. In fact, this bug was only introduced in 2652.

Of course, due to the general slowness of this site, somehow it added an old version of my update.

Above, I mean selected = blue background, active = green checkmark.

Ah, I checked and we always have at least one selected layer. So it should be:

When removing layers afterwards the active layer should be selected instead of keeping old selected layer positions.
