[Qgis-developer] [Qgis-user] Changing behaviour of "show selected features" mode for attribute table

[Alexandre Neto]

I would say -1 for having an empty table as the default behavior if no
features are selected. It will rain complaints and bug reports saying that
the table is not showing any their lovely features.
