I'm using PCB version 20110918 on Ubuntu (Unity) 13.10 (64 bit) with gtk GUI.

I want to design a primitive 2-sided board with only top/bottom Layers.

To define the Layers/Groups I open "File>Preferences>Layers>groups". Now I want to put "top/component side" into group #1 and "bottom/solder side" int= o group #2 by pressing the corresponding buttons. But after press= ing the button, they do not change any color. All the buttons look like the same (light grey).

Is this a bug or do I something wrong?

I spent already hours in searching the web, but found no soluti= on.
