Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
When a Nautilus window lose focus, any selection should be deselected or marked in a different way.
When using drag & drop, you sometimes don't know which folder will be the target because some folder may already be selected.
When you press the delete key you could delete content from the wrong location because you didn't notice your 'current' nautilus window didn't have focus. E.g. two nautilus windows where both windows has a selection.

Thank you for your bug report, unselecting on focus switch would not be a good idea since there is a many case where you are working on a selection and might switch to something else (getting an instant messager message for example), the color are different for things having focus or not
