relation editor: improvement to highlight an element

[malenki]

Some time ago this feature did exist. P.e. it's very useful for merging two relations into one or shifting some of the members so please re-add it.

At the moment one has to select some of the entries which one thinks they are the wanted ones, click on "select selected items" (that's the translation of the german description) to get them hilighted/selected at the datalayer.
I still prefer the old behaviour: selecting at the relation-editor=selecting at the datalayer.

Or is there a certain reason tat this behaviour is not wanted anymore?

Here are some improvements for the relation editor:

element table: (left table)

• double click on an element should select it in the data layer
• the background of all selected primitives (see right table) should be highlighted, e.g. green

current selection: (right table)

• double click on an element should select it in the element table (left table)

buttons:

• all buttons with a similar aim should be grouped together.
  • so all buttons with several types of adding elements in a row at the top
  • selectAction and selectMembersForSelectionAction should grouped or deleted
  • removeSelectedAction grouped to above or separate at the bottom

because of the last comment and the fact that it is not possible to reimplement the old behaviour, I changed the title and type from defect to enhancement

To alter vsandres suggestion I'd say it would be the easiest way would be just highlighting (_not_ selecting) the in the relation-editor selected members at the datalayer.
With highlighting I mean the way of showing the selection which is used when a relation at the list in josm is double-clicked.

At the moment only selected primitives are highlighted in the map with a red colour. If you want to highlight something without selecting it, there must be a new class and colour. So in my opinion this should be the second step, after doing the things mentioned above.
