[Qgis-developer] iface.mapCanvas().setCurrentLayer does not update legend

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi Devs,

using:

iface.mapCanvas().setCurrentLayer(l)

in a python plugin works (as calling 'currentLayer()' returns l as 
active layer),
BUT the legend is showing that l is the currentLayer (it does not make 
the background bleu)..

I found that:

iface.legendInterface().setCurrentLayer(l)

works though.

So Question: is this a bug in the first call?
Or is that not to be used (anymore, after the legend overhaul)?

And then there is also:

iface.activeLayer() ?

Is there a difference between active and currentlayer?

If not, this is maybe a place to get a cleanup for 3.0?

Regards,
