deleted rather than the trace.  That shouldn't happen without a
disambiguation menu.
So you'll get annoying menu every time you want to delete wire under footprint in wire placement mode. I propose to add some intelligence: let's current selected tool take precedence in selection. For example, in wire placement mode if user press del key while pointing mouse cursor to the wire under footprint, wire can be deleted without menu. If there is only footprint under cursor - it can be deleted without menu. If there more than one wire or more than one non-wire items (footprints or footprint and drawing line or line and filled zone) under cursor - menu appears. If there is more than one wire and another non-wire item(s) under cursor - menu appears, but only wires shown.
