The most reliable way I've found to do this is to **disable** row selection, let that bounce over to the browser, which will then clear `props.selection.data`. A change event on `props.selection.data` can then re-enable row selection when it sees the new empty value.

In general, properties that are set via user interaction in the browser, like selections, need to also be _unset_ by the browser. Unsetting them directly via script (which runs in the gateway, not the browser) is unreliable.
