Description Beth Tibbitts CLA 2010-06-12 16:38:01 EDT
Using filtering in Install dialog, if you use filtering to show some features, and select one or more, then use filtering to select different features, and select one or more, then hit Finish,
the only features that are brought to the next page to be installed are the ones that were
shown in the last filter.

For example: in Helios repo
Uncheck "Group items by category"
Type "C/C++"  into filter
Check checkbox for the  C/C++ Development Tools feature

Type "parallel" into filter
Check checkbox for Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) End-user Runtime

Hit Next
Only PTP is selected to install

Hit Back, turn filter off, and hit Next
Both C/C++ Dev Tools and PTP End-User runtime are selected to be installed.

This makes it difficult to select disparate features from the very long Helios list.
I think everything selected, whether shown in the current filter or not, should be installed.
The user sees the confirmation screen to confirm what is going to be installed.
