Description

Launch a standard flexible layout using the Slate template.

Invoke the Zoom Rectangle tool from the main toolbar. The toolbar item is highlighted.

Now invoke the same Zoom Rectangle tool from the context menu, that toolbar item is no longer highlighted, but it is still internally the active widget.

This can confuse users as to what is the current active widget.

Closed the wrong ticket. This still needs to be confirmed as fixed.

On second thought, this may not be defective as first thought. The toolbar and context menu items are mutually exclusive widget references, so this is sort of working by design.

We'll put this on ice to think about it.
