Yes, I can easily reproduce it ( OpenGL engine only ):

It happens when files are loaded one after the other:
Run Gerbview
Load one file: no problem: the layer manager shows it.
The load a second file: incorrect loading with 2 issues:
- the second file is shown in first place in layer manager (it is expected to be shown in the second
place) and the first file is shown in the second place.
- the color of items is the same (the first graphic layer) for all loaded files in GAL mode.
(However, the legacy mode and the Cairo mode shows the right colors)

When layers are loaded all in once, this issue does not exist.

Also after load a file (and when starting Gerbview) the icon showing the active layer is not displayed.
This is annoying because when loading an other file, it is loaded on the active layer, and if the
active layer indicator is not shown, you don't really know what happens when loading this file.
(You can replace a previously loaded file, an this is not always wht you want)
