trying http://vocms0116.cern.ch/tasks when going "manual" one needs a "unselect all".
in addition (I don't recall where this discussion happened) the list of site should not be made task specific, because it makes the console impractical. so indeed this came up as a request in #4 and #4 (comment) but the list, as it was explicitely designed with @vined should be there upfront, and not task specific
