--- Comment #8 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
Filter is a means to shorten the list, not to select something. It's reasonable
to use partial filter to only select part of what's visible; it's reasonable to
filter several times to search for a(lise), then b(ob), then c(larice) to only
check those three items from a long list. But each time you enter anything,
your selection is destroyed. It's unusable in all but the simplest case when
you type your filter precisely to only see what you want to select; even if you
type one non-specific filtering, the selection it creates does not help, since
user will still need to de-select items, so it could just as well not select
anything.
