Changing layer order does not update layer selector

Migrated from https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/166691

When adding a new layer and changing its z-order, the new layer's position is not correctly represented in the layer selection box (in bottom status bar); it remains in its old location. Activating the layer selection box a second time causes the correct order to be shown.

I should clarify the procedure:

  • Add a new layer.
  • Change the layer order.
  • Check the layer selection box.
