Comment 10 for bug 1653980

I fixed this problem. Editing a footprint loaded from a board is a slightly different situation. One could argue that the solder mask clearance in footprint editor should be set to the clearance used in board currently being edited so the solder mask will be displayed as it will appear on the board. I took a quick look at doing this but there are so many footprint load paths in the footprint editor that I didn't feel motivated enough to track them all down to set the solder mask clearance accordingly. If someone files a new bug report about that, I'll take a another look at it.
