[Bf-committers] Overlay for last poly selected

[Campbell Barton]

Sorry for late response on this, I dont think the original question
was answered.

The reason to have this persistent is because of UV mapping - the
image displayed on the UV/Image editor is always from this face.

This is very similar to active object or active pose bone - you don't
want the UV image to flicker about or display nothing when adjusting
the vertex selection for eg.

For a similar reason we have active-unselected Object's and Bones -
the buttons window context would flicker too much otherwise.
