This is assuming you are not working with "custom" layers on and that you are working in the layer combination you want to amend.
I will quite often add an element knowing full well that the layer is currently turned off because I am not in the correct layer combination.
Maybe it should be a button that opens the layer dialogue so we can amend multiple layer combinations if needed rather than just one.
