[GRASS-user] wxpython v.digit: how to copy features from background layer?

I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the 'copy features from
(background) vector map' tool on the wxpython v.digit interface.

For example, see the attached image. I'm trying to copy the grey
polygons from a background map into the vector map currently
being edited. I can't seem to select either of the grey polygons with
any of my mouse buttons.

Any help most welcome,

did you mark vector map layer in contextual menu as "background map" ?
Right, it's not documented yet... In the best case every tool should
be explained in the special section in the manual pages.
