Layer selection causes the active ribbon to change involuntarily
Issue #58
invalid
When a layer is selected in the layer manager the LAYER ribbon becomes visible and active. When a layer is not selected the INSERT ribbon becomes active.
This causes confusion and breaks up the users workflow.
It should either:
- Not change the active ribbon, or
- Change the active ribbon back to the previously active ribbon when a layer loses focus.
I think I'd prefer the first option and just let the user manage the active ribbon.

I implemented the auto-change logic because (if I recall correctly) without it, the LAYER ribbon wouldn't retain the focus, and it became awkward to interact with it. I thought I chose the lesser of two evils. A better implementation would not auto-change, but would retain the LAYER ribbon after is selected by the user.

reporter perhaps it should appear on window focus, and the actions can be node sensitive.
