I find the user interface confusing on a few counts.

1. "STICKY HIGHLIGHTING"

I would like to toggle on/off individual images to see if they fit.  The
red highlight overlay is an impediment.

I do:
* load a project
* open fast preview
* move/drag panel
* drag mode: normal
* activate/deactivate an image by clicking on its button

I see: the image has a red overlay when activated.  To get rid of the
red overlay I must move the mouse away and this disrupts the on/off
process.

Suggested new behavior:
- highlight the image in red for a short period (try with one second)
- then remove the highlighting.

2. "HIGHLIGHT OF MOVABLE SELECTION"

I do:
* set drag mode to normal, individual
* activate/deactivate images

The only feedback I have about the selection are the checkboxes in the
images buttons.  It is difficult to keep track.

I would like to see:
* when I click inside the panorama to start a dragging movement, the selected images are highlighted
* during the movement, the selected images stay highlighted
* when I release the images into the new location, the highlighting "flashes" away

3. HIGHLIGHT COLORS

Currently highlighting of images is very colorful but color does not
convey any additional information.  I would like to see different
highlighting colors for the different functions, i.e. leave the color
scheme of the Identify function in the Preview tab as is and change the
color scheme of the other/newer functions that need similar
highlighting.

Title:
  'Identify' in Preview tab of Fast Preview window is always active

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  New

Bug description:
  Affects at least hugin 2011.0 on OS X 10.4 and 10.6:
  Identify in the Preview tab of the Fast Preview window is always on, no matter if the Identify button is activated or not. This seems to affect the visibility of the Overview which is plain black and only flickers while I hover over the image numbers. 
  Maybe related with 'Photometrics' being enabled, sometimes when this is disabled the Overview is suddenly visible.
