Summary0013781: outline palette selection should not move when deselecting items on canvas
Descriptioncurrently

- select an item on canvas
- the item gets activated in the outline palette
- unselect the item (by clicking on the background of the page)
- the list item corresponding to the page is activated

Additional Informationafter "deselect", it's pretty uncommon that the next action will be on the page itself.

it's much more likely that an item close to the last one will be activated.

it would be better, if the "deselect" action would just deactivate the current list item in the outline palette, without selecting anything.

in the current code, this would signify that the list item corresponding to the page cannot be activated from the canvas.

How would the user then select the page in outline palette?
This is in direct opposition with all of the context sensitive requests to select tabs etc on PP when someone selects a certain type of frame etc.

one can select the page in the outline palette by clicking on the page list item in the outline palette...

if there is a need for more (like selecting the new page when creating it...) i would have to refactor the current code and avoid selecting the page when the item passed as parameter is not set (a bad habit anyway...) and add a function for explicitly activating the page list item.

the question being: is there a real need for it?
what are the actions that should trigger it?

according to vlada there seems to be no need for the page list item being automatically being selected.
manual activation is enough.

i'll try to make a patch that disallows passing null as the second parameter..
