- PDN deselects the area after clearing it
- PS leaves the area selected after clearing it

I'm pretty sure Pinta has always left the area selected after clearing it. It seems like a pretty common workflow to delete an area and then want to do something new in the area, like a bucket fill or an effect. It would be annoying to have to redraw your selection after the clear. (Especially if it's a complex selection like freeform.)

The new issue is that the selection drag handles disappear after clearing it (since they are new). I think the proper fix is to simply ensure that the drag handles are still visible after clearing the selection.
