It makes sense to me. Boy, that's scary. :) I suppose an arguement
could be made for this scenario. You have several blocks/objects selected
(following the multiple blocks/objects allowed model,) a number of which may
not be on screen at this particular moment. A 'Deselect All' could deselect
_all_ blocks, not just the reverse of 'Select All'.
