When I use the context menu to add something to the PCB canvas, what happens is that object appears, but the layout continues to be selected. This causes some unpleasant surprises. Want to drag that thing? K, just drag it... wait, you just dragged the whole layout. Change your mind and want to delete the thing? Press delete and... you just deleted the whole layout. You get the idea.
If the object I added would get selected, workflows start working as I expect.
