External layers are always loaded as active

[danceb]

If I open an URL, where external layers are set as inactive with "!", the layers are loaded as active anyway. This works correctly within the demo, but not in my case. I did a fresh pull of the qwc2 and the qwc2-demo-app, but it doesn't changed. What could be the reason for this?

Non-working example: https://kartenportal.jena.de/?l=wms%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fmap.jena.de%2Fows%2Fkartenportal%3F%23Ortsteile!&bl=stadtplan&t=kartenportal_kartenportal&c=680999%2C5644001&s=62500

Working example: http://qwc2.sourcepole.ch/?l=wms%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fmap.jena.de%2Fows%2Fkartenportal%3F%23Ortsteile!&bl=mapnik&t=qwc_demo&c=1291116%2C6608436&s=200000

Importing https://kartenportal.jena.de/themes.json into my local qwc2-demo-app it seems to work correctly?

It should not have to do something with the themes and is only related to layers, which are not part of the current theme and are added in addition via the layer import function. These layers are always loaded as active. And yes, it works in the qwc2-demo-app, see the example links above, where I added a WMS layer from our qgis server to your app. So this is not an issue within the demo-app. There it works correctly. I just have no idea where to search for this issue in my application.

I did some more testing. Unlike your case it does not work with a fresh cloned demo app and the master qwc2 in my case. But with the 2023-lts branches of both, the qwc2-app and the qwc2 it actually works! So I tried different commits to find the one, where this issue came from. It is https://github.com/qgis/qwc2/commit/b2aa417b05c1b2068566d65209c174c29e74a4c9 which solved https://github.com/qgis/qwc2-demo-app/issues/453. After this commit the loading of inactive external layers does not work anymore.

Thanks, should be fixed in the latest qwc2 submodule.
