unselect task after an action

(closed account) says:
Hello,

I have a question. When I select a task and (for example) want to set its prio to 1. Now I want a different task to set its prio to 2. Now if i forget to manualy unselect my first task. Both tasks get prio 2.
Is it possible to unselect all task after an action?

Press "n" first to un-select all tasks.

You can also click on "None" in the Select bar at the top (where it says "Select: All, Due Today, Due Tomorrow, Overdue, None").

Batch-editing multiple tasks is very handy and convenient, but it can be tricky to manage. Post back if you have any other questions!

Variations of this issue appear over and over on these boards. E.g., http://www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/ideas/3114/

As I wrote over eight months ago, this UI issue is far and away the most pressing thing facing RTM in terms of needed fixes. Any UI that creates sufficient confusion that many users alter, complete, or delete tasks inadvertantly is ultimately intolerable.

I can't fathom why this should be any different than any other Windoze app - Click/Shift-Click to select multiple continguous items, Click/Cntrl-Click to select multiple non-contiguous items. It's even the same on the Mac (except it's Cmd instead of Cntrl).
