Hello Tobias,
I agree with Eliot and Tim.
Windows UI did force selection under the pop-up and I never liked it.

For example, when we want to fileout all the methods, it's mandatory to
select none. This is now impossible.
I note that the change list which is capable of multiple selections does
not have this auto-select annoyance.

For windows-addict make it a preference, but be sure old guys like us will
never highlight it ;)

Nicolas
