That would be an invisible state like "this items is being shown as selected, 
but it is selected differently as other items but you can't see this 
difference". I don't think that's a very good idea in general.

Unfortunately I fail to fully understand the old situation and what Michael 
changed about it so I may not be in the best position to judge this.

Cheers,
