highlighting multiple channels results in the closing of one of them

[Paul White]

I wanted to close a couple of channels and thought that if I highlighted more than one then a right-click option might be available to close them simultaneously.

Unfortunately the lowest channel in the tree was immediately closed upon highlighting two channels. The other channel remained open.

As in the upstream bug report this was a feature not a bug.

I agreed it was a strange feature though and have removed it for the next release.

Thanks to TingPing, I'll cherry-pick the change into ubuntu soon (as I also agree).
