Thanks Igor2...

First, I notice that my system's rendering of the layer group buttons is 
EXTREMELY indistinct: I cannot actually see which buttons are selected 
at all!!! I may have ruined any default settings by accident now! 
(Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, default GUI appearance). I wish for unmistakeable 
contrast in future versions!

I shall try reverting the layer settings to the ones I inherited with 
this job 2 years ago; 'component' = red =  component side, and 'solder' 
= blue = solder side.
