[saas-3/trunk] Only the displayed records are deleted when selecting all records in a list view

[Muschang Anthony (Acsone)]

When selecting all items in a record list only the displayed element are deleted. This not consistent with the functionality "Export" and "Partner Mass Mailing" where the actions is made on all items.

Scenario:
With the address book module and more then 80 partners.
1/Go to contact in list view
2/Select all elements
3/Click on "Delete" in "More"
4/Only the displayed data are deleted

Tested with Chrome and IE9.

Indeed, we made exceptions for the export and the mass mailing features, but these two features are the only exceptions: All other wizards work with the displayed selections.

Therefore, if the only concern is consistency, we should actually have this behavior for the export and mass mailing features...but this is obviously not what we want.

We will effectively do something about this, so you can choose if you want to delete only the displayed selection or all the records that match the search filter, but we cannot regard this as a bug but as a feature, and therefore, it will be done in trunk, not in a stable release. So, I put this in the wishlist, for trunk.

We should have the same behavior than famous mailboxes, leaving the choice to the user to delete only the displayed selection or all the records. See attached screenshot for example.
