Hi,

You're right Tim, unselect() doesn't get called when deactivating the
SelectFeature Control.

However, I've noticed an issue, which might be what Pierre is running
into. Draw a polygon, choose "select polygon on click", click on the
polygon, then click on + or - on the zoom control, and your selection
will go away. The problem doesn't appear when clicking on the
LayerSwitcher or on the Pan Control.
