 When you have a missing layer when opening a qgs project file, you have
 the option to find the missing reference file with a dialog. When you
 choose the correct reference file, instead of keeping the layer/reference
 file in the same relative position within your layers or "map legend", the
 layer is promoted to the topmost position. This affects the map canvas by
 changing the order of your layers. The ideal behavior would be to keep the
 layer in the same relative position amongst the layers in the map canvas
 as it is in the qgs project file when opened. I assume this behavior is
 the same across platforms, but I've only tested on OS X.
