Research direction

Start by reproducing the difference with the attached test file, test_klayout_display_aref.tgz, using klayout c.oas and klayout -ne c.oas. Compare how selecting an array reference highlights its instances and check whether the status message changes. Done means -ne displays the same array-reference highlights as the normal launch.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

klayout c.oas
=> display level 1: selecting one array reference highlights the origin reference with its bbox and the nine others with a + on their reference point.

klayout -ne c.oas
=> display level1: selecting one array reference only highlights this one.

The status message is the same in both cases.
