[OpenLayers-Users] Clearing a selection feature

[Jean-François Gigand]

Hi Dave,

Indeed, deactivating the SelectFeature control does does unselect features.
If you need to, call unselectAll() (from the SelectFeature control)
before deactivating it.

I have noticed also that removing features from a layer does does
unselect them, so the application has to do it by itself (issues with
popups, etc).
