FP-editor: THT-pads shown despite all layers switched off

Description

The footprint editor shows all THT-pads of a footprint despite the layer-setting in the appearance-manager is set to "all layer off".

This is contrary to the behaviour in pcbnew, where "all layer off" shows really nothing on the canvas (except drawingsheet and FP-anchor-points).

affects: v6.0 / v6.99

Steps to reproduce

  1. open attached project, open board
  2. doubleclick connector-footprint, click button "Edit footprint"
  3. move mouse to appearance-manager-->layer-pane-->RMB-click --> context-menu --> hide all layers
  4. observe: all layers switched off, THT-Pads still visible
