Cityscape Tabs Need Unique Selections #1262

In OG Apoc, each cityscape tab had its own set of selected items. For instance, in your Craft tab, if you selected one of your craft, it would have a yellow border around it, indicating it was the main thing selected. If you went to the Hostile Vehicles tab, a vehicle selected there would have a yellow border as well, and your craft wouldn't lose its yellow border. This is useful for when you have the camera follow option enabled, and you want to follow your craft and an enemy craft. Also, this is very useful for tracking progress in your two research tabs and the workshop tab. If you select one unit from each tab, you can quickly monitor the progress in each tab. Currently in OA, selecting one researcher/worker deselects the others in the other tabs. OG saves the person selected in each tab separately. Either that, or switching tabs deselects them.

Agreed, this is a useful OG feature

In effect, we need the game to remember previous selection for each tab and, in instances where that is not available select no item for each tab (as opposed to the first, which can be confusing or problematic)

It's worth noting this issue seems to apply across the board, from bases, through vehicles, agents, scientists and organisations
