Level missing in side panel #276

Now try to turn off everything except the background map.

If the hidden higher layer, file.kmz, were shown, we could just uncheck it.

Alas, it is not, so we try unchecking Top Layer. Result: the background map disappears.

Now we know that the background map is not part of our KMZ file. So there is a missing layer, not shown, called file.kmz, that belongs in between Top Layer, and all the other layers, except the maps.

For now we must uncheck each and every other layer, to leave just the map remaining.

If there were no bug, then we could simply uncheck file.kmz.

Super clear proof of the problem. Give two files on the command line:

$ viking zxl.clipped.kmz zxl.kmz

Screenshot 2024-06-24 17 39 09 The basic ability to toggle one file on and the other off is lost!

Also, how can a person have two sons, both named Ralph?

Ah ha, they don't. They have two grandsons, both named Ralph, but the display is wrong.
