           Summary: ExpressionBuilder should not change active layer
           Product: Chameleon
           Version: 1.99
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Widget

The expressionbuilder currently makes the ExpressionBuilderAnnotation layer the
active (i.e. selected) layer. AFAIK this seems unnecessary.

It causes that an application loses its active or selected layer after an
expression has been executed. When using the CSS style of layer manager as
introduced in Studio (rowNormal and rowSelected) this can be irritating.

I want to change the following:

--
$oAnnoLayer->set( 'name', 'ExpressionBuilderAnnotation');
$oAnnoLayer->setmetadata( 'selected', '1' );

// select the new layer and save the origin layre ID.
$oLayer->setmetadata( 'selected', '0' );
--

into:

--
$oAnnoLayer->set( 'name', 'ExpressionBuilderAnnotation');
$oAnnoLayer->setmetadata( 'selected', '0' );

// select the new layer and save the origin layre ID.
//$oLayer->setmetadata( 'selected', '0' );
--

Which keeps the previous active layer. I tested this and don't see any problems
with it. Any objections?
