How to view F.Mask and B.Mask in the footprint editor?

KLC F5.1 has that silkscreen clearance must be at least the silkscreen line width or pad mask expansion, whichever is greater.

In Pcbnew I can see the pad’s solder mask expansion with layers F.Mask and B.Mask, but in the footprint editor these are not visible. How do I view F.Mask and B.Mask in the footprint editor, so as to check the silkscreen clearance?

Pad and silk in Pcbnew, with mask clearance shown, (all layers enabled).

Pad and silk in Footprint editor, no mask clearance visible (also with all layers enabled).

The mask layer is visible but the clearance is 0 within the footprint editor. You can temporarily set the footprints clearance to what you want to see and use this as a workaround.

Thanks, 0.2 does it.
