No, that's only from a code pane.  We're talking about from the upper pane
of a MessageTrace or MessageSet.

But now I see I misspoke -- because I had been experimenting with Eliots
question from a MessageTrace with only one message it it.

This is something I've wnated fixed for a long time, I'll see if I can
spend a little time wiht it today and solve it.

BTW, why is it intuitive at all that NO SELECTION means ALL SELECTION for
filing out?  Talk about unintuitive -- THAT sounds like it would be a bug
in itself but, whatever..

No, nothing has changed other than the traceMessages preference being set,
which is way more important than occasionally filing out methods of a list.

Deselecting with the Control key is broken in 4.5 and for a long time
before that.  As I said, we should focus on letting that "isControlled"
input var to MessageTrace>>#toggleSelectionAt:shifted:controlled: be able
to come in as a "true" and then everything should just work...

I'll see if there's an easy fix.
