I was a little surprise by the behaviour of right clicking in the task
treeview. It seem to be in purpose that when  two task are selected, a
right click on another one select the third task in addition of the two
others.

But it's not the common behaviour in gnome. In nautilus or rhytmbox for
example (but I think it is the same in every other gnome applications)
when two items are selected and you right click a third one, the third
one is selected and the two others are unselected so the action is
applied only on the right clicked item.

Of course if you right click on one of the selected item the action is
applied on the whole selection and no item is unselected.

So GTG's behaviour seem strange and is not consistent whith the rest of
gnome. Perhaps this bug should be reopen.

Bug description:
If a task is selected, right-clicking on a different task doesn't change the selection.  For example:

Create "task 1" and "task 2."  Left-click on "task 1" to select it.  Now right-click on "task 2" to bring up the context menu.  The selection stays with "task 1," so any actions you choose from the context menu will apply to "task 1," even though you specifically right-clicked on "task 2."

Obviously this is not a big problem, but it seems a little awkward to require an extra left-click before you can get to an item's context menu.  This is also inconsistent with other GTK+ list views.

Using GTG 0.2.4 with Ubuntu 10.04.
