Objects stay hidden when moving through hidden layers
Migrated from https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/168636
Steps to reproduce:
- open Inkscape
- create two new layers (layer 2 and 3)
- hide layer 2
- create a shape in layer 1
- move shape to layer 3 with Layer -> Move Selection to layer above
What happened?
The shape becomes invisible in Layer 2 (expected) and stays invisible in Layer 3 (unexpected).
What should have happened?
The shape becomes visible again in Layer 3.
Although it is possible to make it visible again by finding the shape in the Layers dialog, this is still annoying when often moving objects between layers.

Root cause (by jazzynico):
When a layer is hidden, it gets a display:none value in the style attribute. When the object moves from the hidden layer, it inherits the display:none and keeps it wherever you move it.
