Subject: [PATCH] Scope the selection to the current view

A selection made in one workspace survived switching workspace or tab, so
the selection bar and its batch actions (copy, delete) kept acting on items
that were no longer visible. Switching workspace, switching tab, or closing
search now clears the selection.
