Describe the issue you are experiencing

On the "Devices" list screen, when attempting to move many devices into different areas of my house, I grouped all the devices by area first. Then I used multiple selection mode on the devices list to choose devices not in an area yet. I then chose a few devices, clicked "Move to area", picked an area. The devices moved to that group.

I then proceeded to choose the next set of devices and clicked "Move to area" again, but I didn't see or realize that all the previous devices I'd picked were still chosen. This moved all the previous devices into the latest area chosen.

This is not intuitive behavior for a multiple selection action.

I spent over 10 minutes moving 150 devices into areas only to end up moving all of them to the same area due to this UX issue.

Describe the behavior you expected

I expect that performing any bulk action, like "Add label" or "Move to area" on a multiple selection screen performs the action and then clears the selection state of the list. This allows the user to proceed to the next set of selections to perform a bulk action on.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Open "Devices" screen
2. Enter multiple selection mode
3. Choose a few devices
4. Click "Move to area"
5. Notice that the selected devices remain selected when they should no longer be selected
